Basil - Greek Mini
The Basil Greek Mini Yevani, 'Ocimum basilicum minimum', is a basil lover's treat. Yevani has a strong, spicy basil flavor that is a compliment to any tomato dish. The small mounding plant is excellent for containers. This small-leaved, 12 inch diameter, 6 inch tall mounded basil doesn't give anything to other basils in flavor. It has a very strong basil taste and fragrance that makes "a little go a long way". Yevani basil is an excellent border plant. . Basil is used in so many foods, it is hard to mention them all. It is used in Italian foods and pesto and pasta sauces. Fresh basil makes a nice tea, an excellent vinegar, and tastes great fresh with fish. Plant 1 to 2 weeks after the last average frost date. Place the Basil seeds in well drained soil with lots of organic matter. ... get more information
