What did I do wrong? i planted Purple ruffled basil and sweet basil in 6 packs as seed. I guess I must have gotten some of the seeds from the purple basil in with the sweet. No I have these funky mutated plants, that smell a lot like licorice. Wonder if they will be true to the parent (spotted leaves and all) from seed. First one is flowering now. Both are supposed to be perennial basils as well. It's funky, so I had to keep it instead of throwing it away.
