As a rule, basil is a low-growing plant that you sow, harvest and you're done. You can also grow basil as a container plant.
Basil plant Magic Blue
There is a basil plant that can be kept as a container plant for many years. It's called Magic Blue and is perfect for the patio or balcony. It forms long stems that can become woody over time and become a real bush. Alternatively, you can also grow them as a standard. Not only is this convenient because you always have fresh basil to use in the kitchen, but the plant looks great, especially when it's in bloom. It does this in the colors blue to violet and smells particularly good. You can also eat the flowers and put them in salads.
The basil bush is not hardy
Caution: Although the basil bush can be used again every year because it is grown from cuttings, it is not hardy and must therefore be brought inside during the cold months. All summer long, however, the Magic Blue basil plant delivers high yields with a full aroma. If you cook with this basil, your dishes not only taste very aromatic, they also get a touch of the Far East.
