"One problem with every basil I grow (except this one) is that they go to flower and seed rather quickly. And once the basil has gone to seed, the plant does not put out much new foliar growth. This means the older leaves get tough and the new ones are small and sparse. This basil did not go to flower from when I planted in late May until it froze out in early November. That means there were always fresh new leaves to harvest! The plant is extremely attractive. The basil flavor is not the best compared to other basils, but the fact that it was producing plenty of fresh, beautiful leaves after my other basil had gone to the compost bin made up for that single weakness. The leaves are not large--about 1 inch long. I will grow this lovely, fragrant herb every year now, unless something better comes along."
