Genovese Sweet Basil Seeds Heirloom Non (5 Packs)

Key Features

• Origin and Characteristics: Genovese basil (Ocimum basilicum 'Genovese') is a popular Italian sweet basil variety, originating from the Liguria region, known for its large, dark green, slightly crinkled leaves and intense, sweet aroma.
• Culinary Uses: Widely used in Italian cuisine, it’s the primary ingredient in traditional pesto sauce, and its leaves enhance salads, pasta, pizzas, and tomato-based dishes with a robust, slightly peppery flavor.
• Growing Conditions: Thrives in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soil, requiring at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily and regular watering to maintain moist but not waterlogged soil.
• Harvest and Storage: Best harvested in the morning when oils are most concentrated; leaves can be dried or frozen, though fresh use maximizes flavor, and frequent pruning encourages bushier growth.
• Quality: All Basil seeds packaged by Seed Needs are intended for the current and the following growing seasons. All seeds are stored in a temperature controlled facility that is free of significant amounts of moisture.
• Quantity: Seed Needs offers generous quantities. You can share with friends and family, or you can save the extra seeds until the following season, if properly stored.
• Packets: Each seed packet displays an artful illustration of the variety to be grown, as well as detailed seed sowing information on the reverse side. They measure 3.5" wide by 5" tall.
