Is the form of Basil -'Pesot Perpetuo' - a perrennial as the name
implies?

If so, would it need frost protection ~ ie: in a sheltered,frost free
place,or maybe protected by fleece or would it need overwintering under
glass or even overwintering indoors?

All suggestions/information gratefully received.
I've "googled" but haven't found out much more than in can grow up to

Ocimum x citriodorum "Pesto Perpetuo"

It is what is known oxymoronically as a short-lived perennial. It is
not frost hardy, so would have to be given full winter protection.


Lots of annuals would be perennial if your climate is warm enough.
