Basil, Nufar

Ocimum basilicum

Price: $3.29

SKU: 40005041

Nufar is an Italian Large Leaf-type sweet basil grown for its strong, classic Genovese aroma and flavor. It was the first basil variety specifically bred for resistance to Fusarium wilt.

The plants are robust, highly productive, and suited for both home gardens and commercial production. Nufar performs equally well in open fields or protected environments like greenhouses and high tunnels. Its open, upright growth habit allows for good airflow and makes it easier to harvest.

Nufar is slow to bolt, and produces deep green leaves that can grow up to 4 inches long. Frequently used fresh, in cooking, or for pesto.
