Genovese Basil

$2.99
A classic culinary herb at home in everything from pesto to curries.

We chose this prime Italian variety for its wide, tender leaves and proud stature. Genovese is a classic form of an herb we all know and love for its rich taste and scent. Reminiscent of anise and cloves, basil is found in cuisines all over the world.

Harvesting tips

Growing up to 24", this basil can quickly grow lanky, a condition that will worsen as it tries to flower. To curtail this tendency, pinch or cut stalks as they grow past 6 - 8" to encourage side shoot production and make the plant bushier. When harvesting, make sure to leave around 4" of stalk from the base where new leaves and branches can grow.

    The luxury of fresh basil!

    It’s wonderful to have fresh basil leaves around and I’m loving the instant harvest from my own kitchen. I hope this plant keeps up production for a long time!

    Fresh basil on hand!

    One of my favorite plants to add to each order is basil. I have added to salads, sandwiches, pastas, hot dishes of all kinds and even wrapped meats and cheeses in the leaves. Recently, I have added making homemade pesto with the generous harvests. Flavorful, fresh and always on hand!
