Ferry-Morse 3004 Organic Basil Seeds, Genovese (250 Milligram Packet) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
Organic.  Annual Herb.  This large leaf type originated in Italy where it was selected for its flavor in making pesto. These productive plants belong in every herb garden. Easy to grow. Use leaves fresh or dry for seasoning. Great for a dramatic background. Start seed indoors near a sunny window 6 weeks before transplanting to the garden. Or, sow in the garden in full sun when frost danger is over and ground is warm. Performs best in rows 2 feet apart. Thin if planted outdoors, or transplant if started indoors to 1 plant every 10 inches when plants are a few inches tall.
