Basil plants are one of the most popular herbs to grow and also one of the easiest. Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a member of the mint family. It is closely identified with Italian cooking, although it is originally from India. The flowers are insignificant but very popular with bees. Grow it in a sunny windowsill to perfume your home and have quick-and-easy access to the flavorful leaves.
