HR1193A - Piccolino Organic
CERTIFIED ORGANIC! Perfect for containers or small spaces, Piccolino Organic basil forms very compact, small, nearly spherical shaped clumps. Tiny leaves adorn its numerous branching stems and form a very densely packed surface area. The fragrance of this Greek basil variety is strong and warm, and the flavour is intense, with hints of cinnamon, mint, and anise. These plants look superb in a six inch container, as the mature plants are 15cm (6") tall and about 20cm (8") in diameter. Of course, they will work just as well in the herb garden, or spaced close together to form a low-growing, edible hedge.
- Compact growth
- Excellent flavour
- Great for containers

How To Grow
Planting basil from seed is truly enjoyable. Seeds germinate slowly, a bit faster when heated from below, and basil enjoys hot weather and full sun. Be sure to try Thai basil, holy basil, and red rubin basil — each variety has its own characteristics. Follow along with this handy How to Grow Basil from Seed Guide and grow some flavour.!
