Ocimum minimum
Family: Lamiaceae
Annual. A tiny hummock of a plant, resembling a Lilliputian oak
tree, but redolent with the finest of Basil aroma. Besides making
a fine sauce, a sprig may be placed behind the ear (Greek tradition) to
exude attractive fragrance all day long. Cultivation: Easy.
Germ in about 7 days. Sow in greenhouse or in pots on the windowsill and
transplant out to the garden when the weather has settled into summer.
