I tend to like the Asian basils better than the Italian basils. The Italian basils tend to be a little strong for my tastes. I wasn't crazy about lemon basil though. I grew a very good one last year, called Queen of Siam or Siam Queen or something to that effect. I thought it had a very good flavor without being overly strong. I also grew Lettuce Leaf basil. It was also relatively mild, and grew like a weed. It was the hardiest of the lot. I had tons and tons of it. It out produced the other 2 by tenfold, but I liked the flavor of Siam Queen a little more.
