Basil, but cuter. Globe Greek Basil takes everyone's favorite herb, and makes it miniature, and has it growing like a topiary.

Greek basil tastes like the standard Genovese Basil for use in all sorts of cooking (like pizza). Not into cooking? That's cool. Greek Basil smells great, is loved by bees, hated by mosquitos, and even produces itty-bitty white flowers whenever it pleases.

Includes three young plants, grown in 2.5" diameter pots.

Growing Info

How to Plant	Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Fill a little bit of the loose dirt back into the hole and tuck your plant in so the base of the stem is even with the top of the hole. Now fill in the rest of the soil around the roots, give the soft ground around the base of your new plant friend a few solid pats to compress the soil onto the roots, and a long, gentle drink of water
Where to Plant	Find a place that gets a decent amount of sun, with rich, well-draining soil
When to Plant	Plant outside in the late spring, once the soil has warmed up. Avoid the heat of the day when planting — plant in the early morning, late afternoon, or by the light of the moon
When to Expect Blooms	We're here for the foliage but tiny white flowers may pop up in the summertime.
Care Instructions	Water regularly until they get established, and then give them extra water during dry spells.
Extra Credit	Pinch back flowers when they appear to keep the leaves growing.
