Ocimum basilicum

Genova Basil – is a type of Basil with large, dark green leaves with a slightly savoy texture. flavour and aroma.

Itshas strong aromatic fragrance, making it a great addition to amanydishes and drinks! GrowBasil hydroponically in your indoor grows kits to save time, water, and stress!

These seeds form a gel when coming into contact with water (so dont be alarmed if theyre turning white!). After a few days theyll begin to sprout, releasing two baby leaves which will grow rather slowly but dont panic! After about a week these will give way to true leaves, much larger mature leaves that look much more recognisable, which will shoot up into a lush bunch of fresh, homegrown, organic basil!

Harvesting; once your plants have around 3-5 mature leaves youre ready to start eating! Pick the leaves at the stem continually, leaving the top few leaves untouched (this promotes healthy growth!)

Basil goes well with a number of things, sprinkle it through spaghetti or try using it in a homemade pesto or fresh summer cocktail!!
