Ocimum Basilicum Coldasil | 9cm Pot

A culinary basil herb with aromatic leaves. Position: full sun Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Hardiness: tender perennial (best grown as a half-hardy annual) A strong growing and bushy basil perfect for a sunny patio pot or wide, sunny windowsill, ‘Coldasil’ has been bred especially for the great British summer so will tolerate cooler and more unpredictable conditions! Pick plants over regularly and remove any developing flowerheads immediately to prevent bolting (running to seed) and to encourage lots of fresh young, aromatic leaves which can be used in classic pesto dishes and to flavour Mediterranean cooking. Garden care: To promote leafy growth pinch out the growing tips. Overwinter inside, and keep it on a bright windowsill or conservatory during colder weather.
