Grow fresh, intensely aromatic culinary herbs in compact spaces with ease.

A great choice if you are looking for a neat, fine-leaved basil variety that produces abundant foliage without occupying excessive room. Endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society with an Award of Garden Merit, this versatile annual forms dense, rounded bushes that thrive on sunny kitchen windowsills, mixed patio pots, and outdoor veg plots.

Details:

  • RHS Award of Garden Merit: Recognized for outstanding garden performance, reliable vigour, and dependable crop yields in domestic growing environments.
  • Compact Growing Habit: Forms naturally tidy, globe-shaped mounds of foliage that prevent leggy growth, making it ideal for indoor containers, trough planters, and patio containers.
  • Fine Aromatic Foliage: Carries densely packed, small green leaves packed with classic peppery sweetness, lending intense flavour to Italian pasta sauces, salads, and home-made pesto.
  • All-Year-Round Indoor Sowing: Sow seeds in trays or pots of moist compost at 15 to 20 degrees Celsius for fresh, continuous kitchen harvests through every season.
  • Outdoor Summer Cropping: Sow thinly directly into sunny growing positions outdoors from May to June, yielding harvests from June to November.
  • Culinary Tip: Pick fresh leaves as needed throughout the growing period, adding them right at the end of cooking to preserve their essential aromatic oils.
  • Seed Packet Contents: Contains an average of 300 seeds of botanical cultivar Ocimum basilicum.
