It is also very good on pizza and is commonly seen on the margarita at most restaurants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best Genovese Basil is said to be grown in Prá, a western delegation of the city of Genoa. It is an annual native to India, Africa and Asia. Of all of the basils to grow (there are about 150 varieties) Genovese is one of the best because it typically yields 7 to 8 cuttings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen harvesting note that leaves can easily be bruised so be sure and handle with care. Also note that Genovese Basil is not drought tolerant and can be damaged by heat stress. Regular moisture throughout the growing season helps to ensure that you will have a good crop. After harvesting do not store at a temperature less than 50 degrees. Genovese Basil has a slightly sweet and peppery flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-6 plant-info\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e Latin Name: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003e Ocimum Basilicum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVariety: \u003c\/strong\u003e Genovese\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOther Names:\u003c\/strong\u003eGenovese\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per Oz: \u003c\/strong\u003eApprox 14,300\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNon-GMO: \u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOrganic:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Heirloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Treated:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Pelleted:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Hybrid: \u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOpen Pollinated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHardiness Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-10\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eUses: \u003c\/strong\u003e Garnishes, Cooking, Seasoning\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTemp Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warmer\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLight Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun, or Partial Shade\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eResistances: \u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eComments:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clearfix\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 2 plant-info-table2\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table-responsive\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table1\"\u003eSeed Planting Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table1\"\u003eSeeds per Ounce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table1\"\u003eGermination Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table1\"\u003eDays to Germination\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table1\"\u003eRow Spacing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table1\"\u003ePlant Spacing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table1\"\u003e100' Row Yield\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table1\"\u003eSun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table\"\u003e¼”\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table\"\u003eApprox 14,300\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table\"\u003e70 F\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table\"\u003e14 to 21\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table\"\u003e18”\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table\"\u003e1 Foot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"plant-info-table\"\u003eFull Sun, Partial Shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSowing: \u003c\/b\u003eStart indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost in spring using at least 3-4” deep pots.
