‘Boxwood’ Basil will make you do a cartoon-quality doubletake. Growing 12 to 16 inches tall with small, tightly held leaves, it looks like a small boxwood. It is perfect to punctuate a formal garden, either in the bed or in a pot. Picture a pair at the entrance to your garden or on either end of a bench. Designers will be delighted with this plant that makes a perfect dollop of green, and cooks will appreciate the typically delicious basil flavor. Plant in full sun and rich, well-drained soil.
