A mild, sweet taste that is perfect for those who love basil's flavor, but shy away from too much herbal spiciness.  It's excellent in a variety of dishes, including pesto, pasta, and salads.  'Purple Petra' also makes a lovely pink-tinted vinegar or oil.  Grow it as a companion plant for your tomatoes or in other areas of the garden as an ornamental.  Try pairing it with yellow marigolds for vibrant contrast.
