Lettuce Leaf Basil Seeds | Extra Large Leaf Sweet Italian Basil Variety for Fresh Use & PestoOcimum basilicumListing is for 1 packet of minimum 50 seeds The Lettuce Leaf basil is a stunning heirloom variety known for its giant, crinkled leaves and sweet, mild flavor — perfect for fresh salads, pesto, and wraps. The leaves can grow over 4 inches long and are softer and less spicy than traditional basil, making them ideal for use whole in sandwiches or as an edible garnish. This variety grows vigorously, producing lush, aromatic plants that reach about 18–24 inches tall. It thrives in full sun, rich well-draining soil, and warm temperatures. Regularly pinch off flower buds to keep the plant producing new leaves longer. Harvest often and enjoy an abundant supply of fragrant, flavorful basil all summer long.
