SKU
293RV
Each plug has 2-3 plants in.
Description (Annual)
Relatively easy to grow, Sweet Basil is perfect for making pesto and mixing with pasta based dishes. Genovese variety is known for its amazing fragrance and the aroma they give out in the summer is just amazing.
Harvest
Pick the leaves once the plant is 10cm or larger. Pick regularly to promote new growth.
Growing Instructions
Plant as a bunch 20cm apart in well drained soil preferably in full sun on your windowsill/conservatory or in a sunny warm position in your garden. Basil loves warmer climates and will start to look terrible or even die if left too cold, Keep well watered until established and in dry weather. They are very fussy about being soggy though, so be careful. Will need some feed if the plants start to turn yellow.
Tip
Remove any flower heads to promote more leaf growth,
