If you have a Greek clientel, you would want to try the Cinnamon Basil. I was told last year that Cinnamon is THE taste for greek cooking. While it has a great cinnamon smell, when you chew a leaf the taste is not cinnamon as much as something unique that I can't describe.
I grew 4 basils last year -- Italian, lemon, thai, and cinnamon. While the Italian sold out the most regularly, the 3 others seemed to vary from week to week with at least 2 flats (1 italian and 1 other) selling each Sat.
For me the Italian was the quickest to grow and would be ready in 4-5 weeks. The Thai was the slowest needing 6-8 weeks.
