I guess seed companies and nurseries that send seeds and transplants to our part of Texas think we are cave-people?

Transplants and seed packs sold in local stores around here just read, "Basil!" I'm surprised the growing instructions on the back doesn't say, "Stick seed in dirt, water, grow, eat."

(My wife is laughing in the background.)

I had no idea there were different types and strains of basil. I have a basil plant growing in a pot a few feet away from me right now. Yes, the seed pack I planted it from just has, "Basil" written on it on the front of the pack. It smells really nice and like liquorish. I found out today - it does not like cold weather. I left it outside when the cold front came through.

ChristinaJo, thank you for making this thread. I have learned from it. Wish I could offer a favorite variety...if I knew there was a such thing.
