African Blue Basil is a fast-growing edible herb with attractive green and purple hairy foliage that smells like camphor. The long stems sport small pink flowers with purple calyx from late spring until frost. As the flowers do not need to be pinched back to keep the plant growing, it is also excellent for pollinators. African Blue Basil is sterile and has a stronger basil taste with a mix of spice and camphor, and is better eaten fresh as it doesn't dry well.  Improved heat and drought tolerance.
