Sweet basil

Sweet basil is a sub-type of common basil with milder or licoricey taste. It is the best choice for Italian sauces and soups and for making pesto. Sweet basil leaves can sustain better in high-temperature cooking than common basil, so they are widely used in the South Asian cuisine.

Description

Sweet basil, is an herb in the Lamiaceae (mint) family native to the tropical regions of Africa and Asia. The fragrant edible leaves are great in soups, stews, and other meat dishes. 

Sweet basil prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soils. It is easily transplanted and should be done so after the last frost. Prune by pinching the tips of long stems and any flower buds. This promotes a branching bushy form.

Ornamental varieties often have showy purple foliage, making them perfect for containers. Plant in a bed or window box to create contrasting colored foliage. Miniature varieties are also available which are great for mass plantings along the edge of flower beds.
