***Very Large Leaves, Excellent For Wrapping or Stuffing***
This great heirloom Italian variety of Sweet Basil is is a sweeter pesto type basil with high yields in the garden. A large variety with medium-dark green leaves, this basil is bigger than most others found in the basil family. Fairly resistant to damage from pests and disease, Italian Large Leaf self-seeds easily. Very aromatic and as popular with bees and butterflies as it is with chefs, this is one of my most favorite basils.When compared to Genovese the flavor and scent are sweeter and less clove like. Plant in full sun and harvest frequently to keep from going to flower.
Basil is also a fantastic natural mosquito and pest repellent and its blooms are great for attracting helpful pollinators to your garden. Planting Basil near beets, asparagus and tomatoes will also improve your crops. It is delicious cooked or raw as a seasoning in your favorite Italian dishes. This is the true Italian Large Leaf Basil that is used in restaurants and by premier chefs. These attractive, vigorous plants grow up to 2 feet tall and are very bushy. This variety also does well in containers and window boxes, and is an excellent addition to kitchen herb gardens.
Unlike most of the other seeds I offer I did not produce these seeds in my garden, I bought way too many packs for the space I ended up with. These are an Heirloom Variety and are not GMO.
