IF YOUR BASILS HAVE FLOWERS AT THE TIPS, DO NOT THROW THEM AWAY, THEY ARE VALUABLE
If you leave the flowers on the plant, they can attract pollinators like bees and butterflies to your garden. This can be beneficial if you’re growing other plants that rely on pollination.
Seed Saving:
If you let the flowers go to seed, you can collect the seeds to plant basil next season. This allows you to have a continuous supply of basil without buying new seeds.
Aromatherapy:
The flowers can also be used in homemade potpourri or placed in small sachets to add a pleasant scent to your home.
So, next time your basil plants flower, consider using the blooms in these creative and beneficial ways instead of discarding them!
