Ocimum basilicum 'Green Pepper' is a unique basil variety that is perfect for fresh culinary creations, herb gardens, raised beds, patio containers, and edible landscapes. Its flavorful leaves are ideal for salads, pesto, pasta, pizza, soups, stir-fries, vegetable dishes, and infused oils. Its nectar-rich flowers also attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Green Pepper Basil thrives in full sun and fertile, well-draining soil. Regular harvesting encourages fuller growth and a continuous supply of tender leaves throughout the growing season. If flower spikes begin to form, pinching them back helps promote additional leaf production, although allowing some blooms to develop provides an excellent nectar source for pollinators.
