Italian Large Leaf Basil is the backbone of classic Mediterranean cooking—its broad, fragrant leaves deliver an intensely sweet, slightly spicy flavor that transforms any dish. More aromatic and sweeter than Genovese basil, this beloved heirloom variety is prized by home cooks and market gardeners alike for its generous harvests and unmatched kitchen performance. Pinch back flowers as they appear and watch this plant reward you with armloads of fragrant leaves all summer long.

Growing Instructions: Direct sow after last frost when soil has warmed to 60°F, or start indoors 6–8 weeks before transplanting. Basil thrives in warm, sunny spots with consistent moisture. Pinch flower buds as they appear to extend the harvest and prevent bolting—this simple habit doubles your yield.
