Persian Basil Seed

All America Selections award winner.
You have to be an outstanding and bodacious basil to be named a 2015 All America Selections winner. Delectable basil gets high marks on several scores: fresh flavor, large leaves, ornamental habit, and lateness to flower. Of course, with basil, or any herb, flavor is the thing, and here Persian basil excels, with lemony, spicy notes. When the plant does eventually flower it is a beauty to look at: sturdy branches packed with outsize leaves, and an ever-present halo of butterflies and bees. Basil adds kick to pesto, soups, seafood, bruschetta, salads, pizza and infused in your favorite olive oil.
