Description
Ocimum basilicum
The quintessential Italian basil. An absolute must for the summer garden.
This highly aromatic 16” tall basil has large, luscious deep green leaves and an unbeatable flavor and aroma. A must for marinara, a positively potent participant in pesto, a cornerstone of caprese, a bright brilliance in bruschetta. Ahh, Genovese Basil, summer wouldn’t be summer without you! Harvest plants often for high-quality leaf production.
