Description
Greek Dwarf basil is a tidy and very compact basil plant that only reaches 6" to 8" tall and can be well manicured into a small mound. It's great for planter boxes or container gardens. This heirloom has a sweet and slightly spicy basil flavor perfect for Mediterranean dishes such as Caprese salad or bruschetta.
