Sweet Dani basil

Sweet Dani basil is a hybrid sweet basil cultivar developed at Purdue University by James E. Simon and Mario Morales.^[1] The cultivar was developed as a research project, by growing a large variety of basils, gathering their seeds, mixing them in a paper bag, and seeing what emerged. The most interesting plants were then isolated, and their seeds collected. The variety was an All-American Selection in 1998,^[2] and is now available commercially.^[3]
