Ocimum basilicum, commonly known as Sweet Basil, is a wonderfully aromatic annual herb grown for its lush green leaves and unmistakable fragrance. A staple of Mediterranean cooking, its fresh leaves are perfect for homemade pesto, pasta dishes, salads, pizzas and countless summer recipes. Easy to grow in pots, raised beds and vegetable gardens, basil thrives in warm, sunny positions and rewards regular harvesting with plenty of fresh new growth. Its small white flowers are also loved by bees and other pollinators if allowed to bloom later in the season. Whether you're creating a kitchen garden or simply keeping a pot by the back door, Sweet Basil is an essential herb that's as beautiful as it is useful.
Plant Care
Position: full sun in well-drained soil – ideal for borders, pots or containers
Hardiness: tender in the UK – protect from frost and treat as a seasonal plant
Hot Tips: water during dry spells, especially in its first season, and remove spent flowers or tired growth to keep it looking its best.
