Well-branched and compact basil was developed especially for ornamental use and pack and small pot production. Green foliage with purple bracts and very floriferous, small creamy white blooms make it ideal as a foliage plant in combination containers. Very fragrant compared to other ornamental basils, but lower in oils than culinary basils. All-America Selections Winner.
