BASIL, GENOVESE
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.
Start seed indoors near a sunny window 6 weeks before transplanting to the garden. Or, sow in garden in full sun when frost danger is over and ground is warm. Performs best in rows 2 feet apart. Thin plants to 10 inches apart when they are 2 inches tall.
Use leaves fresh or dry for seasoning. Great for a dramatic background.
