I love basils- mostly I have African Blue, but seeds dont come true if you do get seeds. Lime basil volunteers and so does my Thai basil. Also love Spicy Globe, and Cinnamon was just so-so here. We grow sweet compact box basil- it would do really well in pots. When I dont plant in ground, we use double pots with earth between them to cool the roots, or an olla jug planted beside the plant outside.
