Harris Seeds has a few new to me basils that you might want to have a look at. I plant several varieties just for fun. They struggle indoors for me in the winter, but come to life once its warm enough to go outside in the sunshine. Sadly, last summer the transplants I started outside for taking indoors (the sweet basil type) got the fungus that causes spots and yellowing leaves. That never happened before. The holy basil is still going strong, but not what you are looking for with that pungent taste. It goes with many Thai type dishes but NOT Italian.
