Purple Ruffles basil is a striking variety with large, deeply ruffled leaves in a rich purple color. The plants grow upright and bushy, reaching about 18–24 inches tall. In summer, they produce spikes of soft pink to lavender flowers that attract bees and other pollinators.

This basil is both ornamental and edible. The flavorful leaves can be used fresh in salads, pasta, and other dishes, while the dramatic foliage adds beautiful color and texture to the garden.
