About Basil Seeds - Dolce Fresca

Ocimum basilicum

Seed Type Open Pollinated Seed

Dolce Fresca Basil gives us everything we want - big, sweet, glossy leaves, vigorous growing ability that is slow to flower, and a compact growth habit that doesn't exceed 12 to 14 inches. Its sweet fragrance and taste will take your pesto dishes to the next level. A clean, compact mounding form makes Dolce Fresca your new favorite basil to keep close on the patio or kitchen counter. All of these fabulous traits makes it clear why Dolce Fresca Basil was the AAS winner of 2015!
