About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Basil connects the herb garden with a broad cooking tradition, from Mediterranean sauces to fragrant dishes across Asia. The leaves give the plant its main appeal, releasing a warm herbal aroma when gathered.

Soft green foliage forms a leafy, branching plant in summer warmth. Pinching the growing tips encourages a fuller shape, while a sunny container keeps fresh leaves close to the kitchen. Small flowers rise above the foliage as the plant matures. Protect basil from frost and provide regular moisture without leaving the roots waterlogged.
