I adore basil and always have these 3 in my garden.

A large leaf Italian type- either Mammoth Sweet or Sweet Genovese
Siam Queen Thai Basil, wonderful anise like flavor and so pretty too!
Greek Columnar Basil, superb flavor, sweet with anise overtones, excellent for fresh salads (especially Insalata Caprese). Does not set flowers so it has to be propagated from cuttings.
