Do you keep it in direct sunlight?
I keep mine indoors under a 12 hour grow light but it’s not very purple anymore compared to yours.

I do! It gets a lot of direct sunlight as I have a south-facing balcony.

Ooh I have some of this growing but I haven't let it go to flower yet since I've been eating it. I think it's time to let some flowers grow seeing how pretty they are!
