Has Anyone Ever Heard of or Used Boxwood Basil

When I was at the extension center today they gave away some of their greenhouse plants.
I picked up a 6 pack of a shrub that said boxwood on the label.It kind of looked like the boxwood I have at home so I took it.
When I got home and pulled the label out of the container it said boxwood basil.
It looks just like boxwood but smells like basil, so I looked it up on the internet. It said that it could be used as a edging shrub, and that it was also used in pesto.
My question is has anyone ever heard of this? When I called the extension center I talked to several people who didn't have a clue.
I would appreciate any info on this plant if you have heard of or used it.

 

Never heard of it myself, but google turns up stuff like this:

Apparently it is edible.
