Enjoy fresh basil straight from your own garden with our Basil Herb Plants (Ocimum basilicum). Fragrant, easy to grow and incredibly useful in the kitchen, basil is perfect for patio pots, herb gardens, greenhouses and sunny windowsills.
Choose from Sweet Basil or Greek Basil. Sweet Basil produces wonderfully aromatic leaves that are ideal for pesto, pasta, salads and homemade pizzas, while Greek Basil has a compact growing habit with smaller, intensely flavoured leaves.
Ocimum basilicum loves warmth, so place your plant in a sunny, sheltered position and keep the compost regularly watered without becoming waterlogged. Pick the leaves often and pinch out growing tips to encourage fresh, bushy growth.
A must-have for keen cooks, Basil Plants are an easy way to enjoy freshly picked herbs throughout the warmer months.
