Licorice Basil is an upright, branching Ocimum basilicum to 18-24 inches tall. Deep purple stems, leaf veins, and bracts contrast with pale violet flowers.
Sow on the surface and lightly cover; it sprouts in 5-10 days at 65-70ºF. Space 8-12 inches apart in full sun, and pinch often to keep leaves coming.
