Basil, Dwarf Greek is a compact and flavorful heirloom variety, growing to just 6-10 inches tall, making it perfect for small gardens, containers, or even windowsill herb gardens.  Don't let its petite size fool you though, this basil packs a punch with its intensely aromatic, slightly spicy flavor that's a staple in Mediterranean cuisine. Imagine tossing freshly picked leaves into your Greek salad or pasta – yum!

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not soggy and provide them with plenty of bright, indirect light. After the last frost, transplant seedlings outdoors, spacing them 6-8 inches apart in full sun. Basil prefers well-draining soil and regular watering.
