Classic Italian Basil (Basil Genovese) is a traditional variety, boasting a unique clove-like taste. Its arrowhead-shaped, smooth green leaves offer a tasty addition to tomato-based salads, soups and sauces.
A short-lived annual that is sensitive to frost, basil does well in pots. It can be sown any time from late spring to summer in a tunnel, greenhouse, conservatory or on a sunny windowsill.
