About these seeds
Basil is the herb you'll use the most. Big fragrant leaves perfect for pesto, caprese salad, pasta sauce, and fresh on pizza. Pinch the tops off regularly to keep the plant bushy and producing — once it flowers, the leaves turn bitter. Loves heat and full sun. One of the best herbs for first-time growers.
