Purple Ruffles won the coveted AAS award for its unusual look. This
unique cultivar grows 18 to 24 inches high and wide, remaining quite
bushy in habit. The large, shiny, purple-black leaves are fringed and
crinkled around the edges.
Pick the leaves and use fresh or dried in tomato
dishes, pasta sauces, vegetables and soups. You can also use basil in
the garden as a companion plant to repel aphids, mites, and tomato
hornworms.
Grow in a rich, well-drained, soil in full sun.
