Thai Basil has a spicy, anise/licorice clove flavour and is very aromatic.
It is used in many Southeast Asian cuisines and is able to keep its flavour well in high cooking temperatures.
It has medium sized pointed, green leaves, a reddish stem with pink flowers on a purple spike.
 
Use as a companion plant with tomatoes as it will help keep greenfly and other pests away.
