88 days. Ocimum basilicum. Annual. Open Pollinated. Genovese Basil. The plant produces beautiful, large, 2" long aromatic dark green Basil leaves. Very fragrant and tasty. It is widely considered the most popular and best basil for making authentic pesto from Genoa, Italy, as it has a balanced sweet-spicy profile with hints of clove, pepper, anise, and mint—stronger and more intense than many milder sweet basil types. Great for making sauces, stews, and salads. Suitable for containers. An excellent choice for home gardens. United States Department of Agriculture, PI 652065. An heirloom variety from Italy.

Great for making pesto sauce. Try to harvest before it flowers. Smells terrific.
