I’ve 9 varieties of basil; this is my favourite because
it is beautiful as well as edible. And it does not require much care other than
daily watering during hot and dry season. The leave is purple and large; twice
the size of sweet basil and it has ruffled edge hence the name. I only grow 4
varieties at one time, each at different corner of the house to prevent cross
pollination, so far so good. This basil will emit a sarsi/coke/pepsi like smell when it is bruised and it taste milder than lemon basil.
