Hi, I have grown it before, it is beautiful in salads, in white bean salads, as a garnish on toasted bread topped with roasted tomatoes and purple basil. Here is a fun read on it.

I've never even seen ruffled purple basil, but neither have I met a basil that wasn't interesting--in some fashion--in a dressing or in a caprese, which I wouldn't consider a mere garnish.
