‘Sweet Genovese’ is thought to be one of the best varieties of basil with sweet-flavoured, soft-textured leaves.
The aromatic leaves are a bright green and the flowers are white.
Can be used to flavour pesto, pizzas, ratatouille and pasta sauces.
Tips: Water Basil plants in the morning, water the compost rather than watering the leaves. Basil will do better in a large pot in a greenhouse or conservatory rather than outside in the garden
