Very easy to grow and extremely popular for those that can't decide on which variety to try in their own garden!All varieties differ in flavor, and for each dish, there is a pet. The leaves are of various sizes, green, red, and purple. Used in cooking in fresh, dried, and frozen form. Basil perfectly complements vegetable dishes, soups, salads and sauces, and is also used for flavoring during salting and canning.The peak flavor experience is fresh from the garden and used soon after, though it retains its unique flavors and aromas well when made into pesto and frozen. Drying is the last resort, as it loses most of the aromatic oils. But we have found that basil dried from your garden is so much more flavorful than commercial dried basil.This would be an excellent choice to grow if you are interested in using basil in a multitude of ways in your kitchen and in bouquets. All basils, when in flower, are an excellent nectar source for pollinators. Honeybees in particular go bonkers over basil!SEED COUNT: Approx 100 seeds per pack
