Product Description

The Greek Ball Basil is a compact, dome-shaped variety known for its tiny, aromatic leaves and neat, round habit. The leaves are bright green, smooth, and highly flavorful, offering a sweet, spicy aroma with hints of clove and pepper. This dense, bushy basil variety is perfect for container gardening or as a border plant in herb gardens, reaching just 8-10 inches in height and width. Despite its small stature, Greek Ball Basil produces an abundance of intensely aromatic foliage, ideal for seasoning dishes or drying for herbal blends.
