Description
Basil is a classic, easy to grow herb with aromatic and flavour rich leaves. Ideal for adding depth to salads, pasta, sauces, and homemade pesto, it’s a staple for kitchen gardens, patios, or sunny windowsills. A practical and rewarding addition to any home growing space.
Sweet and Greek basil varieties offer bold flavour and an uplifting scent. Their compact growth suits containers or small garden beds, yet they yield generously, making them ideal for everyday culinary use. These basil plants establish quickly and respond well to regular picking. With consistent harvesting, they continue to produce fresh, tender leaves throughout the growing season, from spring to early Autumn.
Basil flourishes in a sunny, well-drained position with regular watering. Removing flower buds helps extend leaf production, making it perfect for home cooks and novice gardeners alike.
