(Basil) One of our favorite Burpee Basil we carry is ‘Pesto Party’! The tight upright mounding habit of ‘Pesto Party’ can reach 18-24 inches tall and 12-18 inches wide. Late to flower, ‘Pesto Party’ gives you weeks of harvesting. This sweet Italian Basil is full of flavor and a great selection for salads, fresh pesto and cooking. Brush the leaves for a beautiful aromatic fragrance. Basil likes to be grown in full sun locations with at least 1 inch of water a week. Keep soil moist but not wet, Basil does not like to be dried out.
