Ocimum basilicum.

 Basil 'Genovese' is one of the most popular herb plants that we grow.   We grow a lot of  basil plants and this is a favorite for authentic Italian basil flavor and appearance - a must for your culinary herb gardening efforts.  A hugely popular culinary herb, the tall and relatively slow to bolt stems on this basil plant bear dark green leaves about 3" long. This is a wonderful pesto basil . A must have for anyone interesting in culinary herb gardening!
