"Tried this in a container as I do a lot of herbs in containers and this I think is the perfect basil for containers. Why? It is so intense, you do not need a lot. A few leaves will flavor a large pot of soup. It has 5 times the anise flavor that regular basil does and that may be conservative. This is good stuff that looks very nice in a container. I will absolutely save a container for this next year and as I said, one container provides a lot of flavor!"
