About Basil, Thai

Anise-flavored leaves on purple-burgundy stems. Purple and magenta flowers. Used in pho, pad kra pao, spring rolls, pad kee mao (drunken noodles), and Thai coconut curry. Remove flowers for best-tasting leaves, or keep them to feed the bees and butterflies. These non-hardy perennials are native to sunny, warm climates and will not withstand frost.
