60-90 Days to maturity. Ocimum basilicum. Sweet Basil Seeds. Non-GMO, annual, open-pollinated, heirloom. Suitable for growing in fields, containers, garden plots, raised beds, and greenhouses. Sweet basil has long been one of the most popular of home garden herbs. Its leaves are tender and glossy, growing on bushy plants with square stems, typical of the mint family. This selection is not a named strain - simply traditional sweet basil. This selection avoids the sharper tones familiar in Asian or African basils, with warm tones of wood, mint, and licorice—a classic for Mediterranean cuisines. Basil can also be grown for delicious microgreens. ~19,000 seeds/oz.
