About Sweet Basil Italiano Classico
Sweet Basil Italiano Classico is a fragrant, fast-growing annual herb cherished in Mediterranean cooking. Its aromatic leaves have a rich, slightly sweet flavour with a gentle bitterness, making it an essential ingredient for pesto, pasta dishes, salads, sauces, and herbal teas. Both fresh and dried leaves—and even the delicate flowers—are used in culinary and medicinal applications.
Hydroponics & Smart Garden Compatibility
This basil variety thrives in hydroponic and smart indoor garden systems, where it receives consistent moisture and nutrients.
