Basil 'Medinette' Seeds

Basil 'Medinette' – 50x Seeds Basil 'Medinette' is a compact, highly aromatic Genovese-type basil known for its neat, rounded growth habit and glossy, dark green leaves. This variety is ideal for both culinary use and container growing, offering classic sweet basil flavour in a tidy, easy-to-manage form. Plants typically grow to around 30–40 cm tall with a dense, bushy shape that resists bolting longer than many traditional basils. Leaves are perfect for pesto, salads, pasta dishes, and fresh use. 'Medinette' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and benefits from regular harvesting to encourage continuous growth. A great choice for kitchen gardens, patios, or windowsill pots. Well adapted to Australian conditions.
