keep testing the branches to see if they are still pliable - didn't think it
would make it - but I thought I would try since it grew so large and was so
beautiful all summer long and attracted so many bees - they just loved it.
I guess I will have to order more plants in the spring.

Ocimum kilimandscharicum is more durable than the culinary kinds, but all
are hard to grow over the winter, even under GroLights. They need bright
sun, warm temps, and good air circulation. They easily fall prey to botrytis.
