Licorice Basil is a type of Thai basil with a pleasant, sweet licorice flavor. Beautiful as a fragrant and ornamental accent throughout the garden, and delicious in salads, baked goods, and pasta sauce. It’s also pleasant to look at with deep green leaves that sometimes show a burgundy tinge, plum-colored stems, and lavender flower spikes that make a fun garnish for any salad, dish, or drink.

Harvest the leaves and stems from the top part of the plant, and pinch off edible flower buds as they appear, which prevents the leaves from turning bitter, and signals the plant to branch out and grow more leaves, making a bushier plant.

The more you harvest, the more it grows!
