An herb that is a must for authentic Italian cooking. The sweet warm minty flavor complements all tomato based recipes & foods.

For pesto no one will forget, try this sweet Basil with its large, flavorful, fragrant leaves. Your herb garden is incomplete without this versatile culinary treat. Works well in containers too. Enough seed for one 75' row.

A lovely member of the mint family with a mildly peppery taste, a hint of clove and mint, basil is at the same time spicy and sweet, warm and fresh. There are over twelve varieties of Basil grown for culinary use, the most common of these is Ocimum basilicum. Alternative names include herb royale, St. Joseph's wort, and sweet basil. Can be enjoyed with vegetables (especially tomatoes), in dressings and sauces, soups and stews, and with meats, beans, and grains. It has even earned a place next to oregano on pizzas.
