Overview

A culinary, compact basil herb with aromatic leaves. A 'Genovese' basil with all the typical pesto-popping flavour you want, plus it's resistant to downy mildew. Compact in growth and habit so perfect for summer patio pots and windowsills. Keep well-watered for a plentiful supply, pinching out any flowering shoots to prevent 'D-fenceil' from bolting and going to seed.

Specifications

  • Position: full sun
  • Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
  • Rate of growth: fast-growing
  • Hardiness: tender annual

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
