Sow Exotic Medicinal & Culinary Herbs African Blue Basil (Ocimum Kilimandscharicum × Basilicum ‘Dark Opal’)

We love growing rare African Blue Basil for it’s beautiful fragrance and because it is so attractive to pollinators. Focus your eyes on the deep purple variegated shrub for only a moment and you will think it is moving! It’s totally a buzz with bees and pollinators! African Blue Basil is related to the common basil but this variety grows as a shrub rather than a leafy herb.

African Blue Basil is an amazing addition to any herb garden and makes a fantastic companion plant in your food forest and best of all, it is one of the few types of basil that grows as a perennial.
