AnnualOcimum basilicum. As the name suggests, Mammoth basil is a robust variety known for its large, ruffled leaves that can grow up to 4 inches long. This basil is prized for its intense, sweet aroma and flavor, making it ideal for pesto, salads, and culinary dishes. Mammoth basil's impressive leaf size and vibrant green color add a striking visual element to gardens and containers. Remove flowers on this variety to promote larger leaf growth.
I planted it twice. It either didn't germinate or died before it got 1/2"tall. I have grown 11 other basils this year and they germinated, and I have healthy plants from them. Disappointed.
Order came quick.
By far my favorite Basil. The green leaves a very large and have a beautiful curly look. We eat them fresh and dehydrated them all summer long.
Lives up to its name. Gorgeous large leaves. Milder flavor compared to the genovese basil. And looks gorgeous in a pot.
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!

I think I bought 5 packets which was good for covering 2/6ft beds
Everything grew quickly, lots of nitrogen fixers and it's all still thick & lush. I will chop & mulch into the soil after all this rain probably around December for the winter/spring garden season here in FL
Producing wonderfully :)
This doesn't fail to impress. Great variety that successfully blooms throughout the season!
Great seed quality!
I grew this pepper plant in a 20 gallon pot and it did very well. It produced dozens of small peppers that were spicy—hotter than your standard jalapeno. I put about 3 of these in my salsa to spice it up along with 5-7 whole jalapeños (I roast them which takes out a portion of the yea). This little plant produced so many peppers that I froze a gallon bag of them to use in recipes throughout the year.
