Basil Italian Sweet Herb (Ocimum basilicum)

There is no more useful herb. There is nothing like the smell of basil, it is the smell of summer. The Basil Italian Large Leaf, 'Ocimum basilicum', is a sweet basil that is particularly good for pesto and is also excellent for fresh use. The Italian Large Leaf Basil has just that, a larger leaf than other basils. Fresh basil makes a nice tea, an excellent vinegar, and tastes great fresh with fish, poultry, rice, mild vegetables, eggplant and many others. Place the Basil seeds in well drained soil with lots of organic matter. Price may be subject to availability, so order today! Plant 1 to 2 weeks after the last average frost date. * $9.95
