A very popular basil with large sweet leaves. Used in a huge range of Mediterranean dishes. It makes a great pesto!

Herbs are so easy you don 't even need a garden! Just a few in pots on the patio or windowsill will add that little extra to a dish.

Sow & Grow:

Sow and grow indoors for all year round crops. Sow 0.5cm ( ¼") deep in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20 °C (60-68 °F) is ideal. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Grow on in cooler but not cold conditions.

For earlier outdoor crops sow indoors March-May. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts) before planting out into warm well-drained soil 20cm (8") apart during May-July. Alternatively plants can be grown on a light windowsill.

Or sow outdoors March-May for ease where they are to crop 0.5cm ( ¼") deep directly into into finely-prepared warm well-drained soil which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 20cm (8") apart. For a continuous supply make sowings at two to three week intervals.

Harvest: Leaves are best picked immediately before use (outdoor crops from June).
