Post #6976029

My GCB is about to bloom. This past Spring I read on this forum that GCB was grown from cuttings only. I bought a plant online from a source I read about also on this forum.

I have since rooted a cutting and have given my neighbor a cutting that she rooted. Surprisingly, the other day I noticed my big plant forming blossom head. I have the GCB growing between two sweet basils that has been in bloom since late Spring.

I don't want the GCB to cross with the sweet, so it would be best to destroy the sweets, right, or no? I wonder if it blooms will it set seed and will they germinate? What do y'all think?

Thanks,

Jerry
