This Genovese-style basil has taken the gardening, culinary and ornamental world by storm by winning an All-America Selections award in 2015 for its compact habit, strong scent and flavor, and vigorous growth. This bushy, well-branched, mounded ball of foliage, is reluctant to flower and yields a continuous production of dark green, sweet, fragrant glossy leaves for your Caprese or pesto production. Bound to be a star in your garden!

A glorious basil breakthrough! This robust, fast-growing, well-branched, Genovese-type cultivar is bred to flower up to 8 weeks later than standard varieties, enabling you to harvest a plethora of glossy green leaves for months before going to flower. As a bonus, resistance to downy mildew and Fusarium mean extra healthy plants all season! The tidy, columnar stature of these 2- to 3-feet tall plants works equally well in planters, containers and in-ground beds.

Gecofure stands for GEnovese COmpatto FUsarium REsistant. It is an Italian strain, widely regarded as the best for pesto and garlic-flavored dishes. The compact habit of Gecofure makes it  well suited to both the garden and a  container garden.

The classic Italian HEIRLOOM with extremely tender, fragrant, large, brilliant green, intensely aromatic leaves. It is slow to bolt, so you can expect a full season harvest. A favorite among chefs and a go-to variety for pesto making and “insalata caprese.” Genovese, when compared to other basils, has less of a tendency to become bitter after long, slow periods of cooking. Slightly more aroma and potency than Sweet Basil.

This unique blend will provide exquisite culinary delights for your kitchen, color and form for your flower beds, and scents to cherish. Includes: Lemon Basil, Lime Basil, Thai Basil, Amethyst Basil, Cinnamon Basil, Genovese Basil, Red Rubin Basil, and Sweet Basil.

This HEIRLOOM, discovered in New Mexico, is the best lemon basil we have found — larger, wildly aromatic leaves explode with intense, citrusy, mouth-puckering flavor!

A  generous producing, large-leafed Italian type, bred at Rutger’s University with resistance to Downy Mildew and Fusarium.

Sweet Basil is the heaviest-yielding variety, recommended for drying, all-around great eating, and large-scale pesto production.

All America Winner for 1992 bred by the Burpee Co. The objective was to diminish the plant size so that it could be grown in containers and the smallest of gardens. A welcome addition to salads and it is a lovely ornamental plant with its yellow flowers, deep green foliage, and compact growth habit.

A beautiful blue green, high-yielding dill that produces masses of feathery, blue-green foliage with exceptional aroma and flavor. Plants are reluctant to flower, so you’ll have a long season of leaf production and bunching capability before they go to seed. If allowed to flower and seed, provides an exceptional beneficial-insect habitat in your garden and will reliably self-sow.

Easy to grow, and dependable perennial. Given its inherent desire to thrive, many prefer containers for their mint. No matter the location,  this zesty, aromatic and versatile herb is an essential ingredient of any herb garden.

Although it can be used as a culinary herb, the frilly, creamy-edged, variegated green leaves make this edible an outstanding ornamental for your containers and window boxes. Prune regularly to promote bushy, new growth or allow the tubular, barely-pink blooms to mature and bring the pollinators to you. May be used fresh, akin to other garden mints, to flavor your salads, summer drinks, teas and desserts.

Wildly aromatic perennial with low-growing spreading habit just 6 to 8 inches tall. The pungent dull green leaves exhibit some purpling at the tips with white flowers. Lends the classic flavor to your Italian, Mexican & Greek culinary endeavors.

Beloved by cooks, this open-pollinated variety sports a frilly canopy of bright green, triple-curled leaves atop strong-stemmed, 10- to 12-inch plants.  Easily withstands the summer heat, yet cold-hardy to be enjoyed well into the fall, retaining its bright hues, firm texture and rich flavor. Dependable uniformity and regrowth for continued harvests.

A sturdy, aromatic ground-cover for the gardener that wants it all — utility of a low-maintenance perennial, color, and a lemony fragrance!
