Can someone tell me the name of this plant. It is growing in a pot in Morocco. It has hairy stem and leaves. I haven't seen any flowers yet, but I've been told they are blue or purple. It does not have a scent.

1I too would vote of tibouchina, but wonder if it might not be a different species that the garden variety one we are all used to. – Ben Dec 26 '16 at 14:53

2If it's holy basil, you can crush a small piece of leaf under your nose to check if it has a unique wonderful scent (as holy basil has). – Jude Jun 19 '17 at 08:02
