Lettuce Leaf Basil Seeds
About- Originating in Japan, Lettuce Leaf Basil is known for its enormous leaf size, and a more mild flavor and aroma. The large leaves make this Basil a great candidate to use in the place of Lettuce, for fresh wraps, or a big batch of Pesto.
When and Where to Plant– Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Transplant when evening temps are above 45 degrees. Start seeds outdoors in late Spring when the soil temp has warmed. Choose a warm, full sun location with rich, well-draining soil.
Care and Harvest– Basil does not need much, if any, fertilization. Be sure to keep the soil damp, but not soggy. You can start to harvest from your Basil plant when it is 6-8″ tall. Harvest frequently to encourage more growth.
