Looking for a plant that will add as much to the beauty of your garden as it will to your favorite recipes? Look no further. Purple Basil, with its striking, coppery purple leaves and lightly spicy, basil flavor (with a hint of cloves), is a real stand-out. Perfect for flavoring oils and vinegars, or for use in salads – especially caprese. This is a terrific choice for container growing, too.
