Basil 'Minette'
‘Minette’ is a boxwood basil, which means that it has small leaves and a tight growth habit, but a powerful scent. As it grows, it creates a little sphere like it is a miniature hedge. Enjoy this in containers or as a border edge in the garden. Read about basil below…
Height & Spread: ~10”
A Note from the Grower
The quintessential fresh herb to have on hand—basil can be used for culinary or ornamental use in the garden. Container or in-ground planting works for this classic. Like it’s relative, mint, basil is best enjoyed fresh but can be dried. I enjoy keeping a vase of cut stems in the kitchen or a potted plant in the windowsill for easy access.
Choose a handful of varieties from my selection to have beautiful caprese salads and vinaigrettes, or select ‘Try Basil’ to get a mix of the best basil flavors, textures and colors all in one! This season, I kept all of my favorite varieties from last year, but I also added some new ones including a lemon flavored basil, a large-leaf basil and a plum-colored flowering basil for more ornamental enjoyment. Enjoy them all! Read up on basil care in the Plant Guide.
