About this seed
Why gardeners choose this variety
Basil's story spans tropical regions of Africa and Asia and the kitchens where its leaves became a much-loved seasoning. Sweet basil is especially familiar in Mediterranean cooking, adding a fresh aromatic note to tomatoes, sauces and summer salads.
Aromatic Sweet Basil develops branching leafy stems that respond to tip harvesting. Keep a pot near the kitchen or grow a patch among vegetables, where the foliage is easy to gather just before a meal. The leaves work fresh in pesto, torn over cooked dishes or combined with other herbs; regular picking also keeps the plant leafy.
