Mizell's Farms sells plant starts at the farmer's market - and I bought their holy basil on a whim once last year and fell in love with it. It's fantastic with beef or chicken - a much better basil flavor cooked with them than the Italian basil in the grocery store.
However, I ordered seeds for holy basil and the plant is verrrryyyy different - not the taste I was expecting.
So: From Mizell's - it's ocimum basilicum.
From seed, it's ocimum tenuiflorum. Which is better for teas and medicines.
