Basil Boxwood

Orgainc Herb seed

Attractive, small-leaved, dense basil plant. Great in the garden and the kitchen: the taste is sweetly spicy and best used in salads, pesto, or pasta sauce. Basil loves growing alongside tomato plants in a sunny garden or in containers on a patio or balcony.

Cultivation: Grow in full sun, in well-drained soil. Likes moderate moisture. Can be clipped as a topiary. To use leaves in cooking, just clip what you need when you need it, making sure not to cut back to the woody part of the stem. To keep the plant bushy and productive, pinch off flower buds when they appear. Harvest completely before the first frost. Warm-season annual.
