Basil Italian Large Leaf

This variety is sweeter and has less of a clove-like flavour than normal basil. I find it a much pleasanter basil to use in pesto and tomato salads. I never plant basil seed, or plants for that matter, in the open garden before December as cold weather is anathema to this delicious herb.
