    I love basil. Wish it wasn’t impossible to find something that smelled like it that’s also stable.

      I couldn’t get rid of huge bushes of it last time it got into the garden. It survived drought, insects weren’t interested in it, and it grew back after being cut down. How much more stable could it be?

        That’s really unstable to me. Grows like a weed, needs constant pruning.

        Stable is something like a succulent or a slow-growing epiphyte. Barely needs water or really any attention at all. Grows extremely slowly and can survive long droughts.
