A mint plant that smells of Basil - may seen bizarre but actually really nice - a fragrance not to be missed! Prefers a sunny or partially shaded well drained site where it will soon form large clumps. As you might expect it is excellent for making pesto! Can also be used in salads as well as adding to oil or vinegar. Grow in a container (as it likes to spread).
