Krishna Tulsi is also famous for its crispy and peppery taste. It will not be right to say that Krishna Tulsi grows less, but it is hard to find in comparison to the other types of tulsi.

The Rama tulsi emits a strong aroma from its every part. It is also found in Eastern Nepal, Brazil, China, as well as in Bengal, Bihar, Chatgaon.

It is native to India, Sri Lanka, Java and the northern and eastern parts of Africa. The scientific name of Vana tulsi is Ocimum gratissimum. It can grow up to 2m high with highly aromatic and slightly hairy green leaves. The strong antioxidant activity of Vana Tulsi slows down the ageing process.<\/p>\n<div id=\"blog-all-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/floweraura-blog-img.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/Lucky+Plants\/vana-tulsi.jpg\" alt=\"Vana Tulsi\" title=\"Vana Tulsi\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">Kapoor Tulsi or Heavy Flowered Basil<\/h2>\n<p>\nThis type of tulsi has garnished its name due to the sweet fragrance that can keep insects and mosquitoes at bay.
