Genovese Basil Seeds

This is a high quality Genovese basil with a strong, classic flavor.  It's the basil of choice for flavorful Italian dishes.  Harvest basil leaves throughout the summer.  Cutting the stems will encourage new growth and a bushier plant.  Before the first fall frost, harvest all the leaves to make pesto.  Sow indoors 6 weeks before the last frost date.  In the south, basil may be sown outdoors after the last frost.  Sow 1/8" deep.  Basil is very sensitive to the cold, so don't transplant it outside until 2 weeks after the last frost.  Full sun. 68 days.

Open Pollinated.  Non-GMO 

CONTAINS: 1/4 tsp., approx. 250 untreated seeds
