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.

• Light exposure: Requires full sun, though it can tolerate partial shade.
• Temperature requirements: Grows best in temperate climates, with winter cold helping to strengthen the crowns.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring before new growth and a phosphorus-rich one after harvest.
