Herbs Basil (Bolloso) OG - live plant
Annual Herb
-
Ocimum basilicum
Dark Green Italian Basil. Large Ruffled leaf. 36"
The seeds to start these plants came from Southern Exposure
" Hailing from Naples, Bolloso is a prized variety known for its robust flavor. Its giant rumpled 6-inch leaves are perfect for making pesto, although they may be harder to dry compared to other basil varieties. These vigorous plants grow up to 3 feet tall and boast pest-resistant qualities, making them a reliable choice for your garden. They are also slow to flower, ensuring a prolonged harvest period.".
At Meeting House Farm we use this classic basil to make our summer pesto. We freeze summer pesto in ice cube trays and have it ready for sauces all winter long. A perfect taste of summer in the middle of a Maine winter.
Our basil plants are available in 4 inch pots or 6 packs. Available for pick up only.
May be harvested all season long.

Organic / Biodynamic Information
All live seedlings, bare roots and gallon-sized plants are certified organic by MOFGA and grown biodynamically from seed at Meeting House Herb Farm in Scarborough, Maine.
A Note about Plant Sizes
This picture shows the plant full grown.
If you are picking up Seedlings, know that they are quite small - just started and will need some care to establish. We've raised them from seed, and made sure they are adjusted to 24/7 outdoor weather, so it will be the perfect time and size to take home and plant in your own garden to arrange in harmony with your other plants.
If you order bare root, they will be just breaking dormancy and will need to be planted as soon as possible. These will be 1 year plants. Give them a year to fully establish in their new home.
If you are picking up Gallon sized pots, they are 1-3 year old plants dug from our gardens at Meeting House Farm.
