Basil Sweet Aroma 2 F-1 Hybrid  Ocimum basilicum 

A hybrid basil genovese variety with medium light green leaves, very uniform, high productivity, vigorous grower, slow bolting, and fusarium tolerant.  Suitable for open field and greenhouse production.

Sweet basil, with its wonderful aroma and flavor, is one of the most popular and widely grown herbs in the world. We associate basil with Italian cooking, so you may be surprised to find that basil originated in the far eastern countries of India, Pakistan and Thailand.  Basil has a warm, resinous, clove-like flavor and fragrance. The flowers and leaves are best used fresh and added only during the last few minutes of cooking.
