(Ocimum kilimandscharicum x basilicum) This ornamental basil is making quite a name for itself. Gorgeous lavender to purple flower spikes are adored by honeybees. They also work well as edible garnishes, and a make a long lasting filler for fresh flower bouquets. Dark green leaves with purple veins have a stronger taste than sweet basils, and have been described as having a camphor flavor. If you keep honeybees, or have some in your area, do them a favor and plant this basil. Annual
