Italian Large Leaf Basil, also known as Genovese Basil, is a culinary classic that grows up to 24 inches tall. Its large, tender leaves burst with a sweet, aromatic flavor that's perfect for creating authentic pesto, flavoring fresh salads and tomato dishes, or adding a fragrant touch to any Italian-inspired recipe. This vigorous grower will provide you with an abundance of leaves throughout the growing season, making it a must-have for any herb garden.

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.
