My wife and I saw some chocolate basil at the Missouri Botanical Gardens this summer. It really has the delicious fragrance of chocolate. I made inquiries to the master gardeners there, but no one could tell me how to get the seeds. I've searched five seed catalogs and tried local stores in the St. Louis area. I even called three local herb societies--no help. Does anyone know where I can buy chocolate basil seeds?
