Choose a variant:
Noga is part of the Prospera Active series. It has resistance to downy mildew races DM-0 and DM-1, along with intermediate resistance to Fusarium wilt. The leaves grow 3 to 4 inches long, with a slightly cupped shape and a glossy, dark green color. Plants grow fast, tall, and even in height, and they recover well after cutting, so you can harvest from them many times in a season. Noga is very slow to bolt, plants keep putting out leaves longer before flowering.

Noga grows well in the field, in greenhouses, in hydroponic systems, and in containers. The tall, uniform plants also make Noga a good choice for market growers who sell basil in bunches or clamshell packs.
