Basil – The Sweet and Peppery Culinary Star

Overview
Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a beloved annual herb that infuses dishes with its sweet, peppery flavor. From pesto to caprese salads, Basil’s vibrant green leaves are a must-have in any kitchen. Its aromatic scent also makes it a popular choice for herb gardens and containers.

Plant Care
Basil thrives in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly, ensuring the soil stays consistently moist but not waterlogged. Pinch off flower buds to encourage leaf growth and harvest leaves frequently for the best flavor.
