 | Basil Plant basil in neat rows, interesting patterns, or any design with easy-to-sow tapes. Lay tape on the soil, cut to fit the space, then rake or sprinkle about a half inch of soil on top of the tapes and water. 'Sweet Genovese' basil is the classic variety for Neapolitan cuisine, grown in Italy and well-adapted to American gardens. For fresh or dried use, this variety is the best for Mediterranean cooking. |
A dwarf plant, 'Marseille' apparently concentrates all its energy on producing big, showy, wonderfully scented foliage. The leaves are larger than most other varieties, and the plant is nicely branched, so you get a big harvest in very little space. Expect Marseille to reach 10 inches high and about 8 inches wide at maturityntal -- you can grab a few leaves in passing as you enter the, bursting with delectable spice in every inch! Marseille is a fine variety for growing in containers, and if you scatter a few among your unscented annual flowering plants, you'll find that bees and butterflies are suddenly visiting! |
| 'Red Rubin' has deep burgundy leaves so richly colored they almost look blue,and it's wonderfully fragrant, bushier, and lasts better than other basils! Add to that its super-easy germination and growth in revolutionary new seed tapes, and you've got an unbeatable crop so easy you won't be able to believe you grew it yourself! |
Italian Plain-Leaf Parsley is ideal for a parterre or other formal garden, also handy to lay down between rows of veggies or even flowering annuals! Italian Plain-Leaf Parsley is a stocky, well-branched plant. Cut all the leaves you need; it will keep growing new ones throughout the season. Set of two 7½-foot tapes. | |
