Basil ‘Purple Ruffles’ doesn’t just taste good – it looks great too! A bushy plant with ruffled and fringed deep purple leaves, it looks striking enough to be grown as an ornamental plant and its large showy purple-pink flowers add to its appeal. The aromatic leaves add flavour to a wide range of dishes.

Note: If grown for the kitchen, pinch off the flower buds as they appear to stop the leaves becoming bitter.
