Italian Large Leaf Basil delivers sweeter, less clove-like flavor than Genovese — making it the go-to choice for pesto, cooking, and fresh garden harvests. Plants grow 24–30 inches tall with large 4-inch leaves and are equally loved by bees, butterflies, and chefs. Generously seeded packets account for basil's 60% germination rate so you always have plenty to plant.
