Basil Pesto-Mix
Ocimum basilicum
The Basil 'Pesto-Mix' combines two of our favorite varieties: the basil "Genova" with its large green leaves and the basil "Opal" with its dark red leaves.
This blend is a real eye-catcher in the every garden. The aromas of these two varieties are perfect for creating an exceptional homemade pesto.
The blend is easy to grow and does well in pots on balconies or terraces.
Growing instructions
Sow from mid-April into trays in a warm place. Transfer to a larger space at 5 ✕ 5 cm spacing. Transplant out into the field at a distance of 30 ✕ 30 cm. Beware of snails! Sow into pots for balcony gardens. Harvest the young shoots continuously. Protection from frost is required. Excellent and required for Italian cuisine.
