Mini Bonsai' Basil (Ocimum)

(Basil) Grow Kitchen Minis™ 'Mini Bonsai' Basil right in your kitchen window! This dense and compact basil plant fits excellently in small to medium-sized containers. It can grow to about 6-12 inches tall and wide and forms a mounded shape. It is a fast grower and will reward you with a plentiful harvest of basil leaves to use in recipes as a spice or garnish. When pinching off the leaves to use in recipes, it is recommended to do so with the top leaves first. The leaves of this basil plant are a bold green color, and they are small enough that they don't need to be chopped before being cooked. Kitchen Minis™ 'Mini Bonsai' Basil grows best in areas with plenty of sun, which means if you are growing it indoors, it is best placed next to a sunny window. If you choose to grow this basil plant in an outdoor container, it is recommended to grow it in full sun areas of your garden. We recommend regular watering throughout the season.
