    There are quite a few. My favourite is cinnamon basil, because it smells so good! There is also curly-leafed basil, Genovese basil, purple basil, Greek basil, etc and so on. I think there are a couple of dozen varieties out there.

    Fantastic! I love basil, and growing herbs. I was wondering like Madhen what kind it was as well. I grow many types in my garden in the summer.

    Well, I checked the tag on it and all it says is "Organic Basil." It smells wonderful though!!
