British Basil

Withstands cooler conditions where other varieties fail! Starting with crosses between Thai and Genovese basils, breeders selected this unique basil for cooler, northern areas. It is more tolerant of cool growing conditions and of the rough handling and bruising of mechanical processing. The dark green foliage has the traditional basil flavour and aroma, with a nice hint of Thai added. Although this basil is intended for commercial production, it is a great choice for home gardens too. Ht. 60-75cm (24-32”).
