Is this a variety of basil?
I planted different varieties of basil. But this keeps popping up. I don’t recognize it and I’ve been growing basil for years. Is it a weed?

It does look a bit like a basil plant. I would pinch the leaves then smell your fingers. If it smells strongly of basil than I would conclude it is basil. If not weed it out. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
