Sweet Basil Herb is the most well-known and of all basil varieties and is the key ingredient in Pesto sauces (yes, it’s super easy to make your own pesto!). Basil grows well outdoors or indoors and can easily be moved indoors for the winter. This variety is also a heavy producer and can be continuously harvested all summer.

Plant 12” to 18” apart inches apart in a compost rich, well-draining soil. Basil plants need 6-8 hours sunlight daily, but benefit from some afternoon shade. Cutting leaves frequently encourages more leaf growth and plant bushiness. As with all basil, pinch flower heads off before they open as the plant will no longer produce the fragrant leaves if it has flowered.
