This is the Italian large leafed sweet basil that we all know and love, lacking minty notes of other basils. This is what is traditionally used in pesto.
Genovese Basil
Plant in early spring or fall, 18-24 inches apart. Cabbage grows best in fertile, well-draining soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5, ensuring full sun and consistent moisture to prevent splitting. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and deter weeds, while regular applications of balanced fertilizer support healthy growth. Protect plants from common pests like cabbage worms using row covers or companion planting​.
