Growing Information

Growing Newton Basil

The best of both worlds: fast-growing and very fusarium resistant, with the traditional, classic Genovese flavor, but without the strong licorice aftertaste that many gardeners could do without. Leaves are large, bright green and crinkled, making them ideal for vegetable wraps, soups or fresh chopped.

Fast shipping and great quality seeds! First time growing this variety of basil and I love it! Strong basil herbal taste without the minty licorice taste that I personally don't like. Incredibly fast germination, within 3 days using a seed tray, dome, and heat mat. I still have them indoors because it is ridiculously hot here in Central Texas Zone 8B with drought conditions and triple digits. Lovely basil, give it a try!
