OVERVIEW
Basil grows best outdoors in a warm, sunny environment as a garden herb, and can also be potted and grown in a window with plenty of sun. Basil is sensitive to cold and will grow as an annual in regions that frost during the winter. Due to its environmental sensitivity, the herb should be planted in late spring or early summer after the risk of frosting has passed. Archaeologists have found basil in mummies removed from the pyramids and believe that the ancient Egyptians used it as an embalming herb. Both the Greeks and the Romans used basil. The generic name Ocimum comes, perhaps, from the Greek word okimon, which means “fragrant,” as basil is a strongly fragrant herb.There are more than sixty known varieties of basil, and these range from green to red to purple, each with a distinctive flavor
