Growing Dolce Fresca Basil

‘Dolce Fresca’ is an award-winning open-pollinated basil and 2015 All-America Selections Winner prized for its sweet, tender leaves, attractive compact form, and excellent drought tolerance. Plants recover quickly after harvest while maintaining the tidy ornamental shape that makes this variety especially attractive in containers and borders.

Start ‘Dolce Fresca’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants about 12 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This variety is particularly well suited to containers.

Ready to begin harvesting in about 70 days, cut leaves or stems as needed and allow plants to regrow between harvests.

Sweet, tender, and attractive, ‘Dolce Fresca’ is excellent for fresh cooking, drying, containers, and ornamental herb gardens.

Great germination on these seeds

Although it is too early to comment on the plants as a whole, my seeds germinated very quickly and in great abundance. Very happy with this purchase.

Fast Sprouter

Just now sprouting. Came up faster than the other two varieties of basil I'm trying. Seedlings look healthy. Got high hopes for this one.

Sweet Flavor

A little slower growth than other basils, but that's a good thing. Less pinching back flowers/seeds.

Grew in ground & pots. Pots came in & did well through early winter.
