I highly recommend this plant. Great foliage colour, smells great if you brush past it (sort of a spicy mint smell), tastes great in salads, cultivates easily from cutting and seed, and grows quickly (in one season you'll have a bush >1m highly). Has few pests (round here anyway) and responds well to heavyish and tip pruning. It's an annual around here so if it gets rangy/daggy/too big you just pull it out, take cuttings and you're good to go again in no time.

@latebloomer I actually got my original plant by growing a bit of salad from a Vietnamese meal! LOL
