Perfect for patio planters – dwarf, compact plants don’t need staking and won’t topple over. Can also be grown in-ground and used for traditional culinary purposes. Late flowering allows for a long harvest season and extended ornamental period. All-America Selections Winner. Mid-size plant has a unique, bushy habit with shorter internodes that shows better at retail than traditional basils and holds its controlled size in the garden without getting tall and leggy. More usable leaf yields, with traditional sweet Genovese basil flavor. All-America Selections Winner.

Fast-growing variety with traditional Genovese flavor features high resistance to Fusarium. Unlike similar varieties, Newton does not have a licorice aftertaste, appealing to a wide range of consumers. Large, bright green, crinkled leaves are great for vegetable wraps and fresh chopped herbs. Ornamental variety has fragrant, ruffled, deep purple leaves with mild anise flavor.
