Italian Large Leaf Sweet Basil is a small erect herb that is grown for its edible foliage.  The aromatic whorles can be pinched off to harvest and delay flowers to promote continued growth until frost.  Best grown in full sun and rich, moist,  well-drained soils.   If grown inside, basil can continue to grow year long.

Sweet Basil has been used in traditional medicine as a treatment for headaches , coughs, and digestive complications.*
