About this variety
The classic basil variety, very productive, aromatic and perfect for all culinary uses, especially pesto. With large bright green leaves and a smell to die for this is an essential addition to the veg plot. We think you cannot grow too much basil, we use it in almost every meal throughout the summer months. Genovese makes the most superb pesto, aromatic without being overpowering and giving us a much needed taste of sunshine when stored or frozen and then eaten throughout the winter months. A robust, trustworthy variety of 'The King of Herbs' with the perfect balance of aroma and subtlety. It is an essential companion to tomatoes. (Approximate seed count - 500)
