If you can duplicate the sun and climate of the Antilles or the Seychells, you have a chance. Otherwise, it is just another annual with larger than normal leaves for a basil.

It is what is known oxymoronically as a short-lived perennial. It i not frost hardy, so would have to be given full winter protection

Lots of annuals would be perennial if your climate is warm enough.
