Basil-Genovese Seed

Basil 'Genovese' is a classic Italian heirloom variety known for its large, aromatic, and flavorful leaves, perfect for pesto, salads, and cooking. Maturing in about 60-70 days, it thrives in full sun with well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, planting ¼ inch deep and spacing plants 10-12 inches apart. Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth and prevents flowering for the best flavor. A must-have culinary herb, ‘Genovese’ basil adds fresh, fragrant taste to a variety of dishes.
