My Purplie ruffled leaf Basil froze )-:

DeLand/Deleon Spring, FL(Zone 8b)

And wouldn't you know it only half the tag (the bottom half) was still in the pot, so now I can't remember what it was called.
About 2 feet high, purplie, ruffled, YUMMY....I'm sad....anyone know what it is, I don't think it grows from seed, I think it has to be cuttings or a plant....(begging moment coming up here)...would anyone have any to share ????

MJ, I'm just starting to sort through seeds, but I'm pretty sure I have a little packet of 'Purple Ruffles' and also 'Serrata' (a green ruffled one) left from last year's bulk packs... Dmail me if you're interested, please.
