    We have Purple Basil growing everywhere. I started it in the yard with a couple tiny plants that I pulled from between sidewalk cracks from a friend’s house. It spread quickly to front yard, backyard and side of house. It grows tall and beautiful and develops lighter purple flowers and seeds on top near Fall.
