Season: Annual Height: 50cm Width: 30cm Habit: Upright Bloom Color: White Bloom Season: Early Summer to Late Summer Environment: Full Sun, Moist but Well Drained Large Leaf Italian basil is regarded as the essential variety for true Neapolitan cuisine, especially pesto. Basils are loaded with volatile oils, responsible for the heady aroma and strong flavor so essential to cooking. The composition of oils varies greatly in different basil types, thus accounting for the wide range of scents available.Pick the extra large leaves and use fresh or dried in tomato dishes, pasta sauces, vegetables and soups. You can also use basil in the herb garden as a companion plant to repel aphids, mites, and tomato hornworms. This Genovese-type basil grows 50cm high and 30cm wide. The dark green, shiny leaves grow up to 8cm long on a tall, erect plant that is slow to bolt. Small terminal racemes of pink flowers are borne in summer.Grow in a rich, well-drained, soil in full sun. Pinch out growing tips to encourage bushier plants and to delay flowering.
