About Basil, Italian
DESCRIPTION. Great for pesto, salads, dressings, and as a pizza topping. Remove flowers for best-tasting leaves, or keep them to feed the bees and butterflies. These non-hardy perennials are native to sunny, warm Mediterranean climates and will not withstand frost. Water regularly and provide good drainage. Don’t plant outdoors until late May. It is a good idea to vary where you plant your basil each year. Basil is susceptible to fungal diseases that accumulate in soil over time. Rotate your crops!
