Mr Fothergill's Sweet Basil Seeds

A deliciously tasting herb, useful for green salads or flavouring egg, fish, meat or tomato dishes. These herbs are so easy – you don’t even need a garden! Just a few in pots on the patio or windowsill will add that little extra to a dish. Compact, bushy plants, with aromatic foliage and scented white flowers. Ideal for windowsill, border or container. Basil is a versatile herb to add to many dishes, add with garlic, pine nuts, parmesan and olive oil to make the most delicious pesto, paired perfectly to tomato-based pasta sauces or combined with sliced mozzarella and tomatoes drizzled with olive oil for a classic Caprese salad. Basil also keeps greenfly and other pests away from tomatoes and other crops in the greenhouse. Brush the leaves with your hand to release the smell and it’s an instant insect repellent! Growing Information Ideal for growing in pot on the patio, windowsill or in a greenhouse. Sow the seeds all year round inside. Flowering and harvest all year long.
