I planted several of these, and they’ve produced so much basil! The flavor is wonderful—slightly sweet with a hint of pepper. I’ve been using it in sauces and salads.
I love using fresh basil in cooking, and this variety did not disappoint. The plants are thriving, and I can’t wait to keep using the leaves all summer long.
I planted these seeds, and within weeks, the plants were tall and full of rich green leaves. The aroma is amazing and definitely enhances every dish I use it in.
I’ve been growing basil for years, and this variety is just as good as expected. The plants are healthy, fragrant, and produce large, beautiful leaves. Great for every meal!
The seeds germinated in just a few days, and the plants took off! I’m already using the leaves in all my Mediterranean dishes, and the flavor is unbeatable.
