Lovely, easy purple basil

I've had better luck with this than purple ruffles basil, and it is gorgeous!

Doing well

I started this one inside under lights. Almost 100% germination. A slower grower, but doing well in outdoor greenhouse in pots. When it's more reliably warm here, this basil will go out in a spot with 8 hours of morning and midday sun, but a little high shade in the afternoon. Hope it's going to be bushy and happy :)
