If you love to see a plant covered in honey bees and bumble bees as well as many other insects, please grow this. At the last count, 10 minutes ago, there were over 30 in total and I only grew 1 tub full. It has also flowered since the end of June, showing no sign of stopping, still vigorous with no sign of disease and has been an absolute delight.

Last week I purchased several of these lovely plants online from Norfolk Herbs for my sister as a Birthday Gift, they arrived today and she is absolutely delighted . She has told me that each plant is at least 10 inches tall , smell wonderful and are extremely healthy and covered in flowers,
Many Thanks for a very quick delivery .This is my first experience of Norfolk Herbs and I’m sure it won’t be the last

This is gorgeous plant that did well for me in the summer. The basil has a unique taste, which worked well in a variety of dishes. The flowers were also beautiful. Just make to keep in greenhouse as mine died during the autumn months and is not showing any signs of growing back.

Hi. Glad you enjoyed the African Basil. Sadly, like all Basils, it is very tender and needs the warmth of the house to get through the winter. If not kept above 12 degrees, it will perish
