AnnualOcimum basilicum. Italian large leaf basil is a popular variety known for its robust flavor and large, 4-inch aromatic leaves with a hint of sweetness. It has a more delicate flavor and fragrance than Genovese basil. This basil is ideal for culinary uses, especially in Italian dishes like pesto, salads, and sauces.
The Italian basil isn’t growing very fast. I’ve never grown any basil before and I’m sure I’m the reason. My wife cooks with fresh basil frequently and keeps asking if she can cut some. I think it just needs more time.
I truly love to eat basil and use in frozen dishes as well. It’s so nice to enjoy during the winter as well.
Outstanding flavor, vigorous growth, and lasts the entire season!
Great plant using this in a countertop hydroponic.
Italian Large Leaf Basil
Awesome producer and neat looking fruit! The abundant cucumber beetles seem to ignore the vines too!
Haven’t planted yet. Looking forward to adding to salads! So happy MIgarden had these. Hard to find Microgreen seeds
So far all 6 seeds that I planted have germinated and are growing well. I am planning on transplanting them into bigger pots soon until they’re ready for the garden.
My old reliable variety, always produces an abundance of tomatoes towards the end of the season!
Little pepper plants popped up quickly, they seem to be doing very well thus far.
