Basil with large leaves. I choose this to be great for cooking and also for flower arrangments. The scent of basil is wonderful.

Germination Instructions: Sow end March, April in a seed tray cover seeds with moist compost. Place seed trays in a warm light place. It is often suggested to grow three basil seeds in one cell.
