Basil 'Green Genovese'
- Product number: 690650
- Origin: South Asia
- Latin: Ocimum basilicum
The delicious taste of basil is fresher and milder the younger you harvest it. Grown as "cress" (derived from the English word "cress"), you'll enjoy the tender stems and soft, green leaves. Also ready-to-use for crushing into a delicious pesto!
This variety is grown as a microgreen (for the young plant with cotyledon or first true leaf). Microgreens are grown on moisture-retaining material (paper towel, cotton wool, soil). Dark and warm for germination, light and cooler after germination.
