Rob says: This basil has been around since the late 1800s. Its got the biggest leaf of any basil variety, 15cm (6) long on a 45cm (18) plant, theyre slightly frilly on the edges with a sweet & spicy flavour. The flowers are also edible, with a lovely flavour, & look great in salads. The leaves can be used to wrap chicken, fish or vegetables before you grill or BBQ them. & with the size of these leaves, you wont need many to make your own pesto
