AnnualOcimum basilicum. The tiniest basil variety around! Piccolino basil is a compact, dwarf variety known for its small, fragrant leaves and dense growth habit, making it perfect for container gardening and small spaces. This basil matures quickly, typically within 60-70 days, and produces abundant leaves ideal for fresh use in salads, pestos, and culinary dishes. Its attractive, uniform shape also makes it a beautiful ornamental plant, adding both visual appeal and delightful aroma to gardens and indoor spaces.

Piccolino Basil
As always everything was exactly what we ordered
Great little basil with yummy leaves perfect for growing indoors.
Great germination. I grew these in my Zone 7/8 Greenstalk. These little beauties did very well all the way into October. It's very flavorful; we used it almost exclusively for tea.
Grew it last year and enjoyed it.
Awesome color on these. Beautiful addition to the (majority pink shades) zinnias I usually grow.
I have way more celery than I have room to plant!
Planted my basil as soon as thepackets arrived!
Last year I decided to plant a "tunnel" of sunflowers on the other side of my tall blueberry bushes and these added a colorful variety to the typical yellow! These are now a favorite that will be a "grow again!"
I received a packet of this mix with a previous greenstalk order through MIgardener (best price around!) and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow and how delicious it was! I’ve never grown salad greens before and this was the perfect mix. Even after burning out on gardening late in the summer, I will always look forward to growing this salad green mix in the spring. Thanks for introducing me!
