I’m curious about this too. I haven’t found the info yet. I’m growing it right now and the flowers smell incredible. It has a sweet fruity smell that spreads throughout a room when I rub the flowers.
Im growing wild magic this year, i think my wild magic may have been crossed with a purple basil, it has bigger leaves and a bit of a different structure while growing, i will agree it has a much stronger basil taste than the african blue or sweet tai basil i grow beside it.
Basil hybrids are awesome! You can get some wild crosses depending on the species you plant near each other. Over the years we have grown some hybrids that can endure temperatures down into the high 30s and low 40s with minimal protection from overnight frosts. I've grown a few varieties of basil that I thought were stone cold dead from cold weather only to discover if treated right some of them sprung back to life. Obviously, we try to breed those genes into less hardy basil varieties, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. But now a days there are some varieties that do pretty well in cooler temperatures. But prolonged frost is always a problem.
Are bees attracted to the amazel basil blooms?
Yes, they like all Basil blooms, but they greatly prefer the wild magic if it’s there to choose from.
@@esotericagriculture6643 Oh, I see. Thank you.
Is the the same as magic mountain basil ? I just bought a plant today
Is wild magic some type of hybrid basil? Is there any history of what basil it descends from?

So where did you find your Wild Magic Basil?!
What's up with the rooster stickers? We would buy some!
Redbubble. Search for ESOTERICAG. It’s print on demand. I had some things made for Christmas presents and they generally turned out well.
@@esotericagriculture6643 sweet! I have a redbubble store as well! I'll go look for it.
@@esotericagriculture6643 found them!! I have a sticker pack on the way 😊
