A neat, globe-shaped herb perfect for the kitchen windowsill.
Enjoy a constant supply of aromatic, fine-leaved basil with this naturally compact variety, specifically bred for decorative and culinary success in small spaces.
Details:
- Botanical Name: Ocimum basilicum, a refined variety known for its uniform and tidy growth.
- Compact Habit: Grows into a beautiful, naturally rounded globe shape without the need for constant pruning, making it highly decorative.
- Culinary Use: Features small, highly aromatic leaves that pack a punch; perfect for garnishing pasta, blending into pesto, or infusing oils.
- Indoor & Outdoor Versatility: An excellent choice for those without a garden; it thrives in small pots on a bright windowsill or as a neat addition to patio containers.
- Easy to Grow: Herbs are incredibly straightforward to cultivate, providing a simple way to add fresh, professional-quality flavours to your home cooking.
- Plant Class: A half-hardy annual that provides lush, green foliage throughout the summer months.
Care Instructions:
- Sowing: Sow seeds thinly in pots of quality seed compost from March to June. Place in a warm, light position (ideally 15-20°C) such as a greenhouse or sunny windowsill.
- Germination: Keep the compost moist but avoid overwatering. Seedlings typically appear within 7–14 days.
- Potting On: If grown in trays, transplant seedlings into individual 7.5cm pots or small decorative containers once they are large enough to handle.
- Maintenance: Avoid placing in cold draughts. To encourage the best flavour and shape, ensure the plant receives plenty of sunlight.
- Harvesting: Pick individual leaves or snip small sprigs as required. Harvesting from the top will help the plant maintain its attractive globe shape.
