Spicy Globe Greek Basil:
The Basil Greek Spicy Globe, 'Ocimum basilicum minimum', is a basil lover's treat. Its strong, spicy, basil flavor is a compliment to any tomato dish. The small, mounding plant is excellent for containers. Now anyone can grow basil, even if your garden is only in containers. This small-leaved, 12 inch in diameter, 6 inch tall mounded basil doesn't give up anything to the other basils in flavor. Plant 1 to 2 weeks after the last average frost date. Place the Basil seeds in well drained soil with lots of organic matter.
