Description
Wonderful lemon fragrance & taste, a real culinary
delight. Makes great pesto, especially for fish
dishes. Add a few leaves to the blanching water for
veggies for extra flavor.
The same large, deeply pleated leaves as Genovese
that everyone loves, but instead of green, Red
Freddy boasts deep Roman purple.
Siam Queen is more tender and intensely flavored
than Sweet Basil. Its highly aromatic, licorice-basil
aroma is more stable at high and extended cooking
temperatures than other basils. Commonly used in
Thai cooking as well as Italian recipes.
A lovely variegated form with light green leaves
and a creamy white edge. Will live indoors as a
tropical perennial. Pungent basil and lemon flavor.
Distinctive columnar habit.
Semi-prostrate branching stems covered with hoplike pods and lavender florets. Wonderful in
containers or cascading down boulder walls.
Needs well drained soil.
This is the leading potted oregano variety in Italy.
This is a highly aromatic oregano that is ideal for
sauces, meats and dressings. It is even used in
Italian pastries.
Leaves are dissected and curled together,
presenting a dense surface. Flavor is milder than
flat-leaf varieties.
The best parsley for flavor. Italian plain-leaved
form is prized for its extra rich flavor for seasoning
soups, etc.
Rambling plants bear tomato-like fruits with an
acidic tang, enclosed in a papery husk. Use cooked
or raw. Bears best when 2 or more plants are
planted near each other.
