Introduce a taste of the Mediterranean to your windowsill, patio or kitchen garden with organic Sweet Genovese, a variety of basil famed for its large shiny green leaves and ability to liven up typical Italian dishes and sauces in particular.
Being a native of India, basil will only tolerate the warmest part of the garden from June until the first frost of Autumn, but can be successfully grown on a windowsill in close proximity to the kitchen! Basil is said, amongst other things, to aid digestion; calm the nervous system; relieve cold and flu symptoms and cure insomnia as well as being an aphrodisiac!
