I would also love to get some columnar non-flowering basil but have never seen it around here. We are pesto fanatics.

I looked high and low for seeds of the greek basil.Finally bought some plants that are 4ft.high now.Cuttings are real easy in just a glass of water.It has to seed eventually(been waiting for almost a year).Everyone says it is/was a cross from a long time ago and the only way to get more plants is thru cuttings.Chicken or the egg?Small leaves but plenty of them.Did get some camphor basil from same company that makes a real good tea for those winter cold and dreary days.Good luck.
