So, you pinch 'em back when they start to flower, to keep 'em going. They
can grow to be the size of small bushes under the right conditions.

I can't wait until I get some flowering basil again. The flowers are
ever so sweet tasting, and taste wonderful in a sanwich with cheeses
like gruyere, masdammer, leerdammer and jarlsberg cheese.
