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. -- Billy Bush and Pelosi Behind Bars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KVTf...ef=patrick.net http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0aEo...eature=related |

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. |

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. |
