Large Leaf Italian Basil

This is the classic. Large Leaf Italian basil is the one that started it all. Big, glossy leaves bursting with that sweet, slightly peppery aroma that makes a garden smell like a kitchen and a kitchen smell like summer. It’s the backbone of a good pesto, the perfect companion to a ripe tomato, and honestly just a joy to grow.

Basil loves heat, and the Mojave has plenty of it. These plants soaked up every bit and rewarded us with lush, fragrant growth and plenty of seed for the next generation.

Open-pollinated and true-to-type, so you can keep saving seed year after year. Start them indoors, transplant after your last frost, give them full sun and decent water, and they’ll take it from there.
