Product Description

The Lettuce Leaf Basil is a unique variety of basil known for its large, ruffled leaves that resemble lettuce in size and texture. Its bright green leaves can grow up to 4 inches long, offering a mild, sweet flavor with a hint of spice. This variety is ideal for fresh pesto, salads, and wraps, as the tender and aromatic leaves are perfect for use in larger quantities. The Lettuce Leaf Basil grows into a bushy plant that can reach heights of 18-24 inches, making it both productive and ornamental in the garden.
