Ocimum Basilicum ‘Genovese’ — Seedling Plug Tray (24)

Ocimum basilicum · Lamiaceae

Twenty-four peat-free plugs of heirloom Genovese basil, sown in our glasshouse and hardened off for windowsill or courtyard planting.

Sown from open-pollinated Genovese stock and grown on in peat-free coir, each plug carries two true leaf pairs and an established root ball. Trays are dispatched in spring once night temperatures hold above 10 °C, ready to plant out or pot on into a terracotta vessel.

THE HERBARIUM LETTER — FOUR A YEAR

What to repot, what to read, and what has just been accessioned.

Seasonal, unhurried, and easy to leave.

ON THE RECORD

Pet-safety notes in the Atlas cite the ASPCA classification recorded for each species. Where no classification has been verified, the record says so.
