I've found that basils are extremely easy to grow directly from seed
(and so much cheaper than buying transplants) that you can grow a
dozen different varieties without any trouble--as long as you wait
for the season to warm up enough, that is.  :)

So far my favorite is Cinnamon Basil--just brushing by this plant is
heaven in itself!  Incredible!   Try basil from seed (check your seed
catalogs or local nursery), you won't be sorry!
