Organic Sweet Large Leaf Basil Seeds
PriceQuantity
$1.50

We associate basil with Italian cooking, so you may be surprised to find that basil originated in the far eastern countries of India, Pakistan and Thailand!

There are so many uses for basil that every herb gardener will want to have a plant or two. It is an attractive plant that works well in vegetable, herb and flower gardens. Basil also makes a great kitchen windowsill plant and looks great in hanging baskets either alone or in combination with flowers. Basil is striking in containers when combined with nasturtiums, zinnias or marigolds.

Place pots of basil around the deck or porch to enjoy the aroma. This sweet, large leaf variety makes great pesto!
