Aromatic Green Herb Plants For Sale | Sweet Italian Basil

As the staple herb of classic Italian cuisine, Genovese Basil (or Sweet Basil) is not only an essential ingredient for traditional pesto but also an attractive addition to garden beds and containers. Large, vigorous, tender green leaves give way to a deliciously sweet and slightly spicy flavor. This aromatic cultivar appreciates warmer climates, so be sure to wait for the frost to pass before planting.

When the tips are pinched regularly, plants will take on a full, bushy form that looks lovely alongside other culinary herbs. Genovese Basil is slow to bolt, but once it does, feel free to use the edible flowers as a garnish for salads, pasta, drinks, and more. We've made it easy for you by shipping our Genovese Basil as 4" potted plants, all ready to grow! You can also bring some indoors and grow on a sunny windowsill all winter.
