With Living Seeds’ Organic Genovese Basil 4.85g seeds, you can bring a touch of Italian flair straight to your balcony, windowsill or garden bed. The glossy, dark green, large leaves exude that characteristic, intense aroma that is an essential part of any Mediterranean cuisine. Sow the fine seeds directly into nutrient-rich, loose soil from March to May – as they are light-dependent germinators, you should only press them in lightly and not cover them with soil. A sunny, sheltered spot ensures vigorous growth and a full flavour. The ideal germination temperature is between 20 and 25 °C. From May onwards, you can transplant the young plants outdoors. From June to October, you can harvest fresh leaves, which are perfect for pesto, caprese, pasta or as an aromatic garnish. Basil also thrives beautifully in pots on a windowsill. Regular harvesting encourages bushy growth and prevents flowering, so you can enjoy your basil for a long time. With these seeds, you’re choosing organic quality and sustainable enjoyment – for fresh herbs whenever you need them.
