It would be a great addition to an edible landscaping design! It's just an awesome looking basil with great flavor to match!* If Mexican Sweet basil is allowed to flower, the flower color will be a beautiful lavender like color. * Basil is a great herb for beginning gardeners as it is fairly disease free and doesn't require as much attention as most other plants.* Basil is a superb plant for container gardening and balconies as it is reported to have strong insect and mosquito repellent traits. It does very well in confined spaces like decks and small backyards.* Basil, however, is probably most noted for being a wonderful companion plant for tomatoes and other garden vegetables because it discourages Whiteflies which are disease vector insects.* This non-GMO heirloom basil is actually a tender perennial but is mostly grown as an annual. If you're in a northern region and plant your basil in containers, you could bring them indoors in the Fall and grow them as a spectacular houseplant or Bonsai!* Mexican Sweet Leaf basil is used in teas, cooking and baking.* It is also wonderful when used in Potpourris and dried flower arrangements!* It is also very hardy and relatively disease free. * Grow this in your containers or landscape and maybe it can help stave off those pesky mosquitoes.Culture Notes:Sunlight -FullDays to Germination-~10Planting Depth-Surface sow but make sure the very tiny seeds are in soil contact to improve germinationLife Cycle- Tender PerennialGermination Temperature-80 FahrenheitSowing-Direct or IndoorsDays to Maturity-75 We offer combine shipping and handling.
