Say hello to Basil, Genovese – a culinary rockstar! This Italian variety, growing to 12-24 inches tall, boasts large, tender leaves filled with that sweet, aromatic basil flavor we all love. It's the classic choice for pesto, but it doesn't stop there. Salads, pasta, pizza, marinades, and tomato dishes – it enhances them all. With its robust growth and plentiful leaves, you'll have plenty to share with friends and family (or keep all to yourself...we won't judge!).

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 12-18 inches apart in full sun. Basil prefers well-draining soil and regular watering.
