Italian Large Leaf Basil

Ocimum basilicum
Sun
24-30" height
12" width
Upright habit

Great in containers, garden beds, landscape. Fragrant herb, great for fresh eating and cooking.

To keep this basil looking and tasting its best, here are a few guidelines for care:
Heat tolerant
Water regularly (allow the top couple inches of soil to dry out before watering again)
Pinch off flowers as they appear to keep the flavour in the leaves
Fertilize every 2 weeks (easiest to do with a water soluble fertilizer in a watering can)
Rinse leaves before cooking or eating
