SKU: 40005031This compact, mounding, Greek basil has a pungent flavor in a compact shape with the small leaves typical of Greek basil and is perfect for growing in a pot indoors or out. The plant grows to be 6"-12" tall and 6"-12" wide, making it a perfect size for a windowsill and can be grown indoors all year (however, it is an annual if you choose to grow it outdoors).
The Bonsai Basil was bred to be grown inside and harvested as needed for cooking. The smaller leaves make it perfect for snipping off and throwing into soups, sauces, and dressings without needing to be chopped. Basils will continue to grow after being harvested. Greek Basil is known for their smaller leaves and bold flavors and this one will not disappoint!
Basil 'Bonsai' is the cutest thing I have ever grown. You don't need to trim it at all to get a perfect round ball of a plant. I grew mine in a pot and loved it so much. I would say the taste is like an Italian basil. The leaves are very small, so no need to chop it up. I found myself munching on it whenever I passed by until is got well into flowering, at which point it became less flavorful.
