Greek Basil Seedling

Cute little compact plants are only 6-10 inches tall and are great for growing in containers. It has a spicy, slightly anise flavor and is a must for Greek cooking.

Pinching the tips of stems encourages a bushy plant and more leaf growth resulting in a round plant full of aromatic basil.  Basil flower buds should be removed by pinching as soon as you see them form. Leaving them on the plant will affect the flavor of the leaves.
