AnnualOcimum 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.
Bravo muah muah muah!
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.

Got a grab bag cause the price was great but also thought it would be a great idea to get to try things I’d never personally choose on my own and I’d say this bag achieved that really well too!
This is the most amazing and prolific pole bean I've ever grown! It produced throughout my growing season, with smaller consistent harvests each week and very large harvests at the end of July, August, and September! I felt like a garden fairy princess coming to pick these gorgeous beans that hung down from my trellis like little purple jewels that stood out beautifully from the leaves. Hope to never go another season without these in the garden :)
This is my second time ordering these seeds, they gave me great harvest last season therefore I decided to reorder them! Thank you.
This is a beautiful basil. The leaves have stunning purple veins. Pleasant smell.
AT's reputation for drought tolerance is well deserved. In a part of the garden that was not watered this summer, AT is still going strong while the other varieties have given up. Something to consider if you're looking for a variety that can handle neglect.
