* Our basil thrives in container gardens, and it can easily be grown under lights during the dark days of Winter!
* Basil is said to be an excellent at repelling mosquitoes and other pesky insects!
* This Non-GMO heirloom basil does great in very warm weather!
* This is the variety that is used for authentic Neapolitan cuisine! This open-pollinated Basil variety is also used to flavor Asian cuisine and is usually added at the last minute to maximize its sensational flavor.
* This variety of Basil is very high in essential oils making it an excellent flavor addition to pastas, cuisines, pesto, vegetables, soups and generally any sauce!
* Dried Basil will never compare to freshly picked Basil. Dried Basil will lose a lot of its essential oils when dried. It is so nice to have this growing in a kitchen garden or container and picking the leaves fresh as you need them to add to your foods.
* The only real maintenance you have to do with Basil is picking its leaves on a regular basis to create a bushier growing habit.
