Lake Valley Seed Lettuce Leaf Basil Herb, 0.3g

Lettuce Leaf Basil

Lettuce leaf basil's large, crinkly leaves sometimes grow to 4" long and wide, making it perfect for wrapping or stuffing. The distinctly-flavored leaves have a pronounced clove-like fragrance. Packet is 0.3g.

Planting

Plant in a warm, sunny location with rich, moist soil in late spring. Basil loves heat and does not begin vigorous growth until night and day temperatures have warmed. Start indoors four weeks before last spring frost date.
