Ocimum basilicum
This is a deliciously sweet and productive, Italian basil variety with large, frilled leaves. Makes an excellent addition to your kitchen garden. A lovely variety to add to any salad, poultry, or fish dish. Looks like a large mint leaf, reminiscent of a lettuce leaf in size, hence its name. The flavour is quite unique with a blend of clove and mint, and a mildly spicy and peppery undertone.
Although Lettuce Leaf Basil is slow to bolt, removing flower buds will encourage your plant to produce more foliage for longer - the flowers are great additions to salads and as garnish.
Ready for harvest around 50 days.
