Basil Pluto (Ocimum basilicum)
This small-leaved dwarf basil is the ideal choice for growing in pots or planters on city balconies. However, it will also do well in the garden. Its fine and very aromatic foliage as well as its pretty compact ball habit gives it a very ornamental original aspect. Its flowering attracts pollinators.
