BASIL (Sweet Genovese) Basil Potato Herb Vegetable Seeds - Vegetable Home Garden - 300 Seeds
The fragrant and popular sweet basil gets its royal status from its name, Ocimum basilicum: Ocimum is from the Greek word okimom, meaning aromatic herb, and basilicum is from the Greek word basileus, meaning king. It could also be considered regal because it is familiar in so many cultures, including the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, and it is thought to have been cultivated in India for more than 5,000 years. It was apparently introduced to Europe from India in the late 1500s. There are several varieties of basil, but sweet basil is the most commonly grown, with more than 60 varieties to please the palates of those who love Italian, Indian, Greek, and Southeast Asian cuisines, among others.
