First of all, where do u stay?
Because Vegetable Gardening depends a lot on the area(soil) you stay.

Indian Jasmine Plant!!
I have found these in Home Depot. I had two to three of them when we were in Houston. It grows very well in hot weather. It used to flower very well.
Check in your local Home Depot. I don't remember what the name was though.

Thiruneetru pachai or Siva Thulasi (in Tamil) .... Sweet basil ... Ocimum basilicum .... the common popular one, purple stemed and blooms, with a strong medicinal scent ...
Other varieties of O. Basilicum - the green variety used in western cooking.
Lemon Basil (sometimes called O. grattissimum)- leaves having lemon smell... elumicham thulasi in Tamil.
Karpoora thulasi (with the smell of camphor) and few others having different scent are classified as varieties of O. Basilicum.
