Basil (Sweet)-1- 4inch pot

Sweet basil (*Ocimum basilicum) is a popular herb known for its fragrant leaves with sweet, peppery, and clove-like notes, essential in Italian (Genovese) and Thai cuisines for pesto, tomato sauces, and curries, thriving in full sun and warm weather, providing culinary versatility and health benefits like vitamins and minerals. To grow it, plant after frost in well-drained soil, pinch back stems for bushier growth, and harvest leaves regularly before flowering for best flavor.
