Basil Seeds - Sweet Genovese Basil
Description
The Italian heirloom that defines basil itself. ‘Sweet Genovese’ is the standard by which all others are measured—fragrant, glossy, and full of essential oil richness that gives pesto its legendary aroma and flavor. The leaves are broad and tender, their taste perfectly balanced between sweetness and spice, with no hint of bitterness.
Plants grow 18–24 inches tall and thrive in sun and warmth, producing continuous harvests through summer. Pinching encourages dense, leafy growth and prolongs the season before flowering.
Originating in Genoa, Italy, this cherished variety has flavored Mediterranean cooking for centuries. From sauces to salads to oils, ‘Sweet Genovese’ remains the truest expression of basil—pure, aromatic, and timeless.
