Ocimim basilicum
Thai Basil has a stronger flavor than sweet basil.  The green 2” long leaves on hearty purple stems have a spicy, anise and licorice-like flavor used in Southeast Asian cuisine, this spicy basil is added to a variety of soup and curry as well as used fresh, try it as a flavorful garnish for sweet dishes.  The flavor is more stable in cooked dishes than that of sweet basil.  This small aromatic herb grows well in containers.
