African Blue Basil -invasive

Question

In the Mary Ellen Ellis article about African Blue Basil she states “This plant can become invasive and spread rapidly in disturbed areas. Take care if growing outside in a region where the conditions are right for it to thrive.” It does not reseed, must be propagated. So how can it be invasive?

Answer 1

You are correct. This article is about African basil, not African Blue, which is a hybrid of two basils as you say. I will let the editor know.

Thanks for the heads up!
