Comment: This basil never disappoints—it’s a healthy, vibrant, happy cultivar that is delicious in pesto, salads, and Thai dishes. It’s a prolific bloomer from spring all the way to December in and attracts hundreds of bees to the garden. No other basil compares!

Comment: The imported European honey bees really love these flowers. Plants did great and were also easy to propagate. Unfortunately mine died when temps dropped to 31-33 so I'll be buying more.
