Known as the Queen of Herbs in India. This type of holy basil is also known as kapoor, or temperate basil. The most beautiful aroma, frost-tolerance, and fast-growing. Its health-promoting properties are said to help combat stress and other medical concerns. Makes a very nice herb tea and just to smell the wonderful aroma in my garden. I love it! It will be a staple in my garden for now on. It did very well in my patio pots. If allowed to flower, it is a bee magnet and it may reseed.
