Basil Bush is a very fine leaved variety with traditional strong basil flavour, it also makes a beautiful little pot plant. This variety grows to about 45cm tall. Chopped on top of some bruschetta it makes a tasty Italian gourmet treat.
WHEN TO SOW All year round
WHERE TO SOW Sow seeds 0.5cm (¼") deep, in small trays of compost and lightly cover the seeds with a sprinkling of compost , and place at a temperature of 15-20°C . Alternatively sow direct outside in April and May into shallow seed drills.
