Genovese Basil

This did well in our New England garden. We love this basil it was easy to grow! The leaves are huge and tasty. We enjoyed this basil on our toast with tomato, toasted sesame seeds, and balsamic vinegar for summer breakfasts. We will be growing this from now on. It is fragrant, tasty, and simply divine!

We have grown this 3 years in a row in area 10. It's just perfect and we harvest it from May all the way through December. The fragrance is amazing and like most basils it's virtually pest free. We make pesto and margarita pizzas and sometimes I just stand there smelling it like a flower. It's simply amazing.

its great can I please place my order now!!!!!!

So far, it's been the easiest sprouting seed I purchased. I live in SC, so I am interested to see how it does once it gets really hot here...Can't wait to use it in my cooking.

I've been planting this for a decade. I planted four seeds this year and all four sprouted. I use basil a great deal in my Italian dishes and this has the perfect flavor and the best aroma. I'm in zone 6b and started my plants indoors 7 weeks ago. They are now living outdoors and are a foot tall. I know from experience they will yield until the beginning of October in my zone. I like to use some fresh and save some for drying for the winter months.

Easy to grow. Does will in the heat. Excellent flavor. Highly recommended.

We grew this variety every year in Omaha, 5B. Bears beautifully and no pests. But, in 2021 the Japanese beetles just about destroyed it. You'd think they would be repelled by the strong smell, but they loved it. Will now grow it in Missouri, 6B.
