The essential basil. If there were only one basil to grow, it would be this one. Also known as Genovese basil, it is recognizable by its large, rounded leaves and sweet aroma.
Basil can be grown in pots and fits nicely in a balcony vegetable garden.
Difficulty level: medium — basil is relatively sensitive to diseases and prefers to grow in a greenhouse in cooler climates.
