easy to grow, tall floral spikes shoot up. Flavor is very different from sweet or spicy basil, very good flavor for stir-fry or steamed veggies. Had mine in a container with Spicy Globe basil, was the prettiest pot in my patio.
I have seeds (see trade lists) but grew the parent plant from one from Wally World.

Very flavorful basil. Intense spicy anise type aroma to the leaves - good for Asian cooking. It is green with very dark purple tips. Smallish plant.
