About this product
This very aromatic annual has tiny deep purple leaves which are borne densely on globular-shaped plants. No need to pinch. The tubular flowers are late to appear and add extra colour to the plant. Purple Ball performs very well under sunny and warm weather conditions and is drought resistant. Can be used just like green basil, perfect in pasta sauce, salads and as a garnish.
