Grow the gold standard of culinary basil with Genovese Basil, the traditional Italian basil variety prized for its large, tender, deep green leaves and rich, sweet aroma. This is the classic basil used for authentic pesto, as well as pasta sauces, salads, pizza, bruschetta, soups, and fresh garnishes.
Genovese basil produces compact, bushy plants with excellent leaf quality and flavor. It thrives in warm weather and is easy to grow in garden beds, raised beds, containers, and windowsills. Regular harvesting encourages continuous growth and prevents early flowering, giving you a long season of fresh basil.
