Widely grown in Italy, where it is very popular in their cooking, especially in tomato salads and pesto sauces and, don’t forget the after dinner mints, it combines nicely with garlic. An attractive plant with often purple-veined, shiny, bright green leaves, it branches vigorously, is very productive, and can thus be abundantly harvested over a very long season. It has an intensely strong, almost perfumed aroma and flavour. 18 ins.
