Ocimum basilicum. Genovese basil is a popular Italian variety known for its large, aromatic leaves and sweet, slightly peppery flavor. This herb is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine, especially prized for making authentic pesto. It is easy to grow in containers to use in cooking all year. It is great for not only outdoor gardens but also greenhouse and aquaponic growing.
Great basil. Easy to grow and wonderful taste
I love growing this in my herb garden.
I've been curious and tried all the other varieties of Basil over the years but the flavor of the Genovese is the one that makes the best Pesto and Thai Salad Wraps. I grow up to 30 plants every year even though I have a small garden. I've grown them in small buckets, in the flowerbeds and always next to the tomatoes. My adult children and I get together and have a pesto party right after harvesting the garlic the 2nd week of July. We make enough to freeze for ongoing use. My daughter throws it over her pasta for dinner my mother likes to make tea from the basil leaves and I always add it to my homemade spaghetti sauce. Some people prefer the Italian but I love the Genovese.
Not only does this basil taste great, it was prolific enough to provide both of my professional chef sons with basil throughout the summer, and I still had enough to dry for winter. As always, migardener’s germination rates are the best I’ve encountered.
Makes great pesto!

I was so excited to receive this bare root raspberry! I followed the directions that came with the plant and planted in a 20lbs grow bag. After a week and a half I saw new growth and within a week it new growth points. Can’t wait to taste/see the fruit.
This guide is full of great information for the dormant plants. This is our first year starting these plants and also using your seeds for our plants and have had huge success with everything from MIgardener. I have watched several videos and have found so much information. Thank you!
I'm giving this 5 stars because I've grown them before... however when my seeds arrived, I left them unattended on our dining room table while I went outside to collect eggs... and my puppy helped herself to the packet.
My fault- the carrots were awesome the year I previously grew them... I'll just miss out this year- no biggie! 🤣
Well, they just started to came out of the ground. But so far they looked great!! Just happy with them. And you can’t beat the price!!! Thank you for all that y’all do for us gardeners!!
i was pleased with my order. planted the tomatoes and now under grow lights. almost every seed germinated, super excited to get them in the ground in a couple weeks
