Anybody plant flowers w/basil?

I love basil....and think  it would look great also accenting colorful flowers. Has anybody combined the two either in a pot or garden? Wondering of basil is one of those ones that chokes out other plants....

Re: Anybody plant flowers w/basil?

  • I have a bed next to the house with a mix of herbs & flowers. I think it probably depends on what type of basil you want.

    I have 5 basil types in there:  a traditional italian (large leaf), a lemon (smaller leaves, bushy), purple (smaller, though one isn't doing well), cuban, and another that looks almost like a mini-boxwood.

    If you want more info, I can look at the tags in daylight.  =)

  • Basil is not invasive, and it does not choke out other plants. If you live in an area that frosts in the winter, it will die off. It's an annual.
