They live up to their name

These plants are massive! I plant a ton of basil every year and these plants dwarfed all others. I got so many leaves off them that we had a pint of fresh pesto in the fridge at all times and I was able to freeze over 2 gallons of it, that's in addition to what we ate fresh and dried for use over the winter. I'll be planning more of this next year!

Zone 5. Wonderful tasting basil that is easy to grow. Great to put in a sandwich or to use for a wrap.

Makes a big impression!

I grew this for myself and my farm stand. It germinated well and grew large dispite the weather being mild all summer. My customers were impressed with the size of these leaves, and the large ruffled leaves were a constant eye-catcher. The bees loved the blossoms as well! Only drawback was that the flavor was slightly milder, but I know some people don’t like strong flavors.

Yummy!

I planted this too close to another plant and it ended up being in shade for most of the day. For that reason mine didn’t get as big as I wanted, but that’s my fault and not the variety. Despite the conditions it produced for me and worked perfect for sandwiches!
