Classic "Genovese type" with small leaves and very good yield. With a sufficient supply of water, the variety forms sprawling, lush plants with correspondingly high yields and good flavor. Just a few plants can provide sufficient quantities for pesto and salad.

Germination at 18-24°C in 10-14 days. Planting distance: approx. 20 x 20 cm, also denser in mixed beds. Avoid waterlogging. Good mixed cultivation with tomatoes. Further cultivation tips for the basil species.
