Environment: Full Sun, Moist but well drained
 Genoves 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.
