Garden Tip - African Blue Basil:

African Blue Basil is a great plant to grow here in south Florida. It withstands heat and drought, tolerates sandy soil, and unlike regular the bugs do not bother it. It seems to be virtually impervious to mold. Like regular basil it has a sweet taste with just a hint of camphor. It is a perfect substitute for regular basil for culinary use to make a flavorful pesto or as an addition to sauces, dressings, and as a garnish.

African Blue Basil is easily propagated by the plant’s trimmings. The flowers never need to be pinched off because African Blue basil will not go to seed and die. However, it prolifically produces beautiful lavender pink flowers that attract pollinators. Here at Hippocrates Health Institute we have plenty of African Blue Basil growing in our Organic Garden for the benefit of our kitchen and our guests.
