Common Name: African
Blue
Basil
African Blue Basil is one of those herbs you always wish you planted more of. When summer temperatures heat up these highly fragrant plants seem to grow inches overnight. African Blue basil produces medium-sized, dark green leaves that work well in salads or sauces. An added attribute of this cultivar is that it is the easiest to over-winter indoors for those basil aficionados who need the fresh herb year round |

Common Name: Pesto
Perpetuo Basil
Similar to, but larger than, Spicy Globe basil in dense habit, this plant is variegated light green and white. It reaches a height of 18" and does not flower. Delightful to use for garnishing dishes and in salads, though other cultivars are a better choice for culinary uses like pesto. The flavor is slightly lemony. |

Common Name: Sweet
Green Basil
Few types of basil are as vigorous as this variety. These extra productive plants develop a seemingly endless supply of green, aromatic leaves. This variety is ideal for gardeners who only have room for a few basil plants in their garden. The spicy-sweet flavor of its leaves will add zest to almost any recipe. Don't forget to use the flowers, too. |
