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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun in well-drained soil – ideal for borders, pots or containers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e tender in the UK – protect from frost and treat as a seasonal plant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHot Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e water during dry spells, especially in its first season, and remove spent flowers or tired growth to keep it looking its best.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BR","offers":[{"title":"12cm","offer_id":62665672884611,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/9697\/7440\/files\/2F81ADF7-5F24-4BE3-A813-747103B25529.jpg?v=1786453947","url":"https:\/\/plant.studio\/products\/rescue-ocimum-basilicum-sweet-basil","provider":"Plant Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
