Italian Large Leaf Basil Seeds
This popular Basil variety grows large leaves that have the perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavor. Excellent in sauces, salads, cooked dishes, and especially Pesto. You can make fresh Pesto and then freeze it for later use. Also great dried. Give your plants plenty of sunlight so that they thrive. Basil also likes to be harvested often; never let your Basil plant become overgrown. Picking leaves often will promote overall vegetative growth, ensuring even more leaves are produced.
