Basil Genovese (4″ pot)

Basil ‘Genovese’ is easily the most popular herb we sell at TERRA!

The most familiar variety of basil, it has a spicy cinnamon clove scent. Relatively tall with dark green leaves, it’s slow to bolt in the garden, making it ideal for growing all season long.

It’s most commonly used in pesto sauce, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, spinach and zucchini, vinegars and salads. Try planting next to tomatoes – aromatic herbs help to attract beneficial pollinators, and some say that Basil even helps to improve tomato flavour.
