I first had Thai Basil at my local Thai restaurant on top of a mango salad - I'd never tasted anything like it, and was completely hooked.
It is sweet and savory, with a rich anise flavour. I add it to curries, stir fries, fresh salads, sparkling water and all manner of beverages.
Thai Basil's dark purple stem and light purple flowers are an eye-catching addition to any garden. I grow mine with tomatoes and cucumber. Excellent container plant.
Type: Herb
Height: 20"

This tall, stately beauty grows freely in my shaded woodland garden among Bluestem Goldenrod, Poke Milkweed, Foam Flower and Astilbe. I love the drama and texture she provides! And the name truly lives up: you can twist the flowers whatever direction you'd like, and they will "obedient"-ly stay.
I keep Obedient Plant in check by surrounding it with other strong native plants, and regularly pulling out new shoots - these are very easy to spot, and shallow. It provides much-needed late season food for pollinators.

Soil: medium-wet
Planting: Cold, moist stratification required - see options in photos, courtesy of Northern Wildflowers. Press seeds into soil and lightly cover 1/8". Do not let seedlings dry out
Sweet local Uxbridge honey is tangy from lemon, bursting with the warm flavours of cinnamon and clove - and topped with a caramelized lemon slice you're gonna fight over.
