Genovese Basil Seeds

About- Highly regarded for its strong aroma and sweet flavor. Growing to a height of 18-24" with smooth glossy leaves, Genovese basil offers a rich and spicy flavor, reminiscent of clove, anise, and pepper. Whether used fresh or dried, it adds a burst of flavorful goodness to countless recipes.

When and Where to Plant- Start seeds indoors six to eight weeks before last frost, and transplant out when evening temps are above 45 degrees. Start seeds outdoors in late Spring when the soil temperature has warmed. Choose a warm, full sun location with rich, well-draining soil. 

Care and Harvest- Basil does not need much, if any, fertilization. Be sure to keep the soil damp, but not soggy. You can start to harvest from your Basil plant when it is 6-8" tall. Harvest frequently to encourage more growth.
