Neopolitana is the basil you have been missing – add a leaf to your sandwich or burger, layer into your lasagna or use as a wrap for a mozzarella and tomato snack – giving you a mild tangy sweet flavour burst. Grow these aromatic lovelies dotted amongst your veggies, in a herb border or all year round indoors. Pinch out the growing tip and flowers for the bushiest plants: those flowers are lovely in salads. Annual
Price for 50 seeds
