Sweet basil is a great addition to egg , chicken and pasta dishes . To grow this plant well you must provide warmest shelterd spot in your garden .In relatively mild areas where winters are not severe the plant may survive and grow in effect as a perennial . But for the majority of people it is an annual herb .
A variety I would recommend is a purple one called purpurascens . This variety looks great and has a slightly milder flavour too . To keep the plant growing well pinch out the flower buds and keep it well watered .
Sweet basil reaches a final growing height of around one foot or thirty centimetres .
