African Blue Basil is a gorgeous perennial culinary and medicinal herb native to Africa and South Asia.  It has a beautiful shrubby growing habit reaching up to an impressive 6 ft tall! 

We love growing rare African Blue Basil for its delightful 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. 

Our African Blue Basil plants are grown from cuttings and are capable of blooming and being harvested within one growing season.
