It's mid Sept. and my plants are about 2 ft. tall and a nice bush. They are starting to make seed heads. I will grow it again next spring since it not only tastes great, but also has an unusual blended purple and green color that is ornamental.

This is my 1st time growing this variety. I got seeds in a seed swap here in Nov. 2017. I grow purple varieties mostly for colorful basil flavor in salads. It has smooth leaves, unlike the Purple Ruffles I'm also growing this year. I also like the look of growing them next to green varieties in pots and the garden. It's mid June and the plants are 7" tall x 3" across. I'll be nipping a few sprigs soon for a salad and to taste its flavor.
