Product description
Genovese basil (Ocimum basilicum L.)
Genovese basil is the one that works best with pizza and the classic tricolor lettuce with tomato and (plant base) mozzarella. It has large, aromatic leaves. Genovese basil will be perfect in a pot on the kitchen windowsill. Sown from good seeds and cared for from an early age, it will certainly do better than the basil you buy in the store. Just try to pull off the tops of the shoots rather than tear off individual leaves. Protect it from frost, wind, and harsh sun.
