i did get two african blue basil they are a perennial basil if you keep this basil trimmed the leaves stay almost all the way purple but i let them flower it helps bring in pollinators so it keeps some purple but not as much.if i had more property i would have bought several things but have to be selective about what i plant i should say now i a have to be. i am starting to get rid of stuff that just will not work here on my small piece of property 40 x 100 lot

I know that cramped feeling. My lot including the house is only 75 x 140. I want to have it all so I just stuff it in & keep trying new things. I have about 100 different kinds of seeds from a seedbox trade that I don't know anything about. Cool name, think I'll try that one. LOL I am also finding out that things will overwinter that I never knew about. Like my Mandevilla & Snail Vines (both died back to the soil & are growing again). I am going to try to save Pepper plants this year.
