Basil Sweet Nufar F-1 Hybrid  Ocimum basilicum 

A hybrid basil genovese variety with large leaves, vigorous grower, slow bolting, and fusarium tolerant for field, greenhouse, and hydroponic growing.

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.
