Description: Genovese basil is a variety of sweet basil that originated in Italy. Its large leaves have a sweet, slightly spicy flavor. Genovese basil produces bright green, slightly crinkled leaves that can grow up to 3 inches long! Genovese basil is a preferred variety of sweet basil, not only because of its large, sweet leaves, but it is also slow to bolt in extreme heat and does not become bitter with age. Genovese basil plants prefer a site with rich, fertile soil and at least six hours of sunlight each day. It is best to create a nutrient-rich bed for basil plants than to plant them in poor soil and rely on fertilizers to feed them. Fertilizers can negatively affect the flavor, scent and potency of basil plants. Seeds should be sown indoors four to six weeks before the last expected frost date for your area. Genovese basil plants should germinate in about 5-10 days but plants should not be placed outdoors until daytime temperatures remain steadily in the 70 F.
