Product Description

Classic Italian Basil is a beloved herb known for its vibrant green leaves, sweet aroma, and distinctive flavor that blends notes of clove and anise. The leaves are medium-sized, oval, and slightly crinkled, offering a rich, savory taste that is essential in Italian cuisine. This annual herb grows into a bushy plant, reaching about 18-24 inches in height, producing an abundance of aromatic leaves throughout the warm season. It is a staple in gardens and kitchens, perfect for making pesto, garnishing dishes, or adding fresh flavor to salads and sauces.
