Yes. The Basil 'African Blue' will last through the Winter if the following care is given. Grow outside from June until September in a sunny, sheltered position. Harvest the leaves in the same way as classic Basil but leave just a few shoots so you can enjoy the beautiful mauve flowers. Bring into the house as the nights grow cooler and over-winter on a warm, sunny window-sill. The night temperature should not fall below 10 degrees Celsius and the surrounding air must not be too humid. Reduce watering during this period.
