Thai Basil

(Annual) (Ocimum sp.) More anise flavour than Italian basils, plant has small leaves, purple stems and a strong clove scent. Great for salads even if you don’t cook Thai- its indispensible if you do! The flowers are purple and quite attractive, but as with all basil, should be removed so the plant will keep producing leaves. Flowers as well as leaves can be used to flavour vinegar.
