Seeds are easy to start & grow with little to no maintenance. I don’t harvest them to eat since I have other basil varieties that I like better, taste-wise. But Dwarf Greek Basil (& other globe basil varieties) makes a very nice & super easy, aromatic companion plant that helps out everywhere in the garden! Zone 9B

The leaves are smaller and slightly less aromatic than genovese, but that’s a good think if you don’t like to be overwhelmed by flavor. The plant is very bushy and prolific. It is also very drought tolerant!

Excellent little compact basil that grows really well in either a pot or the ground. It doesn't take up much room, so this is perfect if you don't have a lot of space or are trying to fill in gaps in the garden.

This variety of basil is tasty and fun to grow. The leaves are smaller and the plant is bushier than regular basil, but just as tasty.

I love this small leaf bush basil plant.
