Pack 1:
“Sweet Genovese” Ocimum basilicum - 300 seeds.
Sweet Basil, Ocimum basilicum is the basil most commonly grown. It is a delicate herb with a bold aroma and flavour, containing about 1% essential oil which has an intense, spicy-sweet, aroma and a slight anise-like undertone
Pack 2:
“Lime Basil” Ocimum citriodorum – 100 seeds.
This rare and tasty basil is freshly citrus scented; it is mild enough to flavour grilled fish and seafood. It works wonders in vinegar in sauces and oils and is a delight on salad
Pack 3:
“Cinnamon Basil” - Ocimum basilicum - 100 seeds.
Italian Chicory or Radicchio is a gourmet type of vegetable. “Palla Rosso” from Chioggia in Italy is a reliable radicchio that forms a gorgeous, firm, round, dark-red and white head which appears like a jewel when you pull aside the tattered clump of outside green leaves.
Palla Rossa is known for its compactness, size and flavour. With uniform well wrapped round heads it yields a leaf for use either as a baby leaf or as whole heads.
Pack 4:
“Lemon Basil” - Ocimum citriodorum - 100 seeds.
This basil is true to its name, one sniff and one would swear one was in a lemon orchard. Initially, it tastes almost the same as most basils, but its slight aftertaste resembles that of lemon balm. It has a very mild flavour, try it in pesto, salad dressings, sauces, fish dishes and desserts.
Pack 5:
“Greek Basil” - Ocimum basilicum var. minimum – 120 Seeds.
Greek Basil is an improved variety of 'Bush'. It has a tight compact growing habit and forms a perfectly spherical bush appearing as though having been pruned. This shape and scent make the plant suitable for growing in virtually any horticultural department:- kitchen or herb garden, beds, borders, path edging, window boxes and patios, not forgetting the greenhouse!
