Multiple Ship Dates
Your credit card will be charged for the full amount of your order at the time your order is submitted, regardless of the shipping time for your items. If your order requires multiple shipping dates, you will never be charged more than once for shipping charges. This allows us to ship your non-seasonal items to you as soon as possible, as well as allocate our seasonal product for your order.
For example, a customer places an order in February consisting of 5 Pounds of Wildflower Mix and 50 Darwin Hybrid Tulip Bulbs. The order would be charged in full upon submission, the seed would be shipped immediately, and the bulbs would be shipped at the optimal time in the autumn based on the customer's zip code.

About Basil Seeds - Lettuce Leaf
Ocimum basilicum
Lettuce Leaf Basil, a type of sweet basil, features large, crinkled leaves that grow on a short, wide plant. While the flavor is sweet, it's not as intense as other sweet basil varieties, making it ideal for adding to salads or using as a wrap for fish, chicken, or rice stuffing for grilling. This cultivar is surprisingly not new, as it has been growing for over 200 years! For those who love basil, the benefits of growing Lettuce Leaf Basil are apparent at first site, as the size of the leaves offer a more abundant harvest.
