Basil ‘Sweet’ – Ocimum basilicum 🌿🍃
(Classic Culinary Basil)
A must-have herb for every kitchen garden, Sweet Basil is loved for its large, soft green leaves and unmistakable fresh aroma. This classic variety delivers the traditional basil flavour we all know and love, perfect for pesto, pasta, salads, sauces, and garnishing everything from pizzas to summer drinks. Its fast growth and generous leaf production make it incredibly rewarding to grow at home.
Thriving in warm climates like FNQ, Sweet Basil grows quickly and responds beautifully to regular harvesting. Whether planted in garden beds, pots, or balcony planters, it provides a steady supply of fresh leaves all season long with minimal effort.
🪴 Planting tip: Loves full sun to light shade and well-drained soil. Water regularly but avoid soggy roots. Pinch tips often to encourage bushy growth and delay flowering for the best flavour.
🌸 Flowering: Small white flower spikes may appear if left unpruned, though regular harvesting keeps plants leafy.
📏 Mature size: Typically 30–50 cm tall and wide depending on growing conditions.
🧡 Your plants: Fresh, healthy Sweet Basil seedlings in a 4-pack, full of flavour and ready to plant straight into pots or the garden.
