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.
