This is a great new addition to your basil collection, it has so many uses, one of our favorites outside the normal basil use is for potpourri. The foliage of this Basil is scented like Cloves! It can be used as a food flavoring, tea, or simply a sweet-smelling, decorative addition to your herb garden!
Clove basil is highly aromatic, offering a clove-like scent with a hint of thyme and cinnamon. When the plant matures, it produces edible, though somewhat bitter, delicate white flowers. The leaves, by contrast, offer a sweet yet spicy, clove-like flavor. Easily grown in containers, it is very aromatic and grows in a somewhat bushy habit.
