Pesto Perpetuo
 

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 4' !

If you can duplicate the sun and climate of the Antilles or the
Seychells, you have a chance. Otherwise, it is just another
annual with larger than normal leaves for a basil.

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.
