This basil stays lush and productive without needing to be pinched back, since it never sets seed. Its soft lavender‑purple flowers attract an abundance of bees and butterflies, making it a standout pollinator plant for any garden. African Blue Basil grows 3–4 feet tall, thrives in full sun to part shade, and performs well in sand, clay or loam, with regular moisture and frost protection. Though edible, it carries a light camphor note that some may find strong, but its ornamental beauty, heat tolerance, and constant pollinator activity make it an exceptional choice for herb gardens, borders, and wildlife‑friendly landscapes. Easy to grow and adaptable to clay, sand, or loam soils, this aromatic shrub‑like basil offers long‑season color, fragrance, and ecological value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003ePerennial herb\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eSize: 1-3 ft. tall\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eFlower: Lavender-purple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eExposure: Full sun, part shade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eMoisture: Moist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eSoil: Sand, clay, loam\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003epH: Slightly acid to slightly alkaline\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eEdible but has a camphor flavor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eAttracts pollinators, especially bees\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e\/mp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Red Wagon Native Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42237046390839,"sku":"26012803","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/5768\/5559\/products\/NoPlantPhoto_BT_34487276-8628-43d9-bb90-e1ffdf017b8a.jpg?v=1718251635","url":"https:\/\/littleredwagonnativenursery.com\/products\/african-blue-basil-ocimum-kilimandscharicum-basilicum-1-gal","provider":"Little Red Wagon Native Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
