Fino verde basil seeds

SEED QUANTITY---> 50 SeedsFino Verde is a small-leaved, compact variety of basil known for its aromatic, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor. It has fine, dense leaves and a strong, vibrant scent, making it a popular choice in Mediterranean cuisine, especially for pestos, salads, and garnishes. This basil variety is particularly valued for its versatility and ability to produce abundant leaves even in smaller spaces.Grow Instructions:Fino Verde basil grows best in warm, sunny conditions, with at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight each day. It thrives in well-draining, fertile soil that is rich in organic matter. To start seeds indoors, sow them ¼ inch deep in seed trays or small pots, and keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Germination typically occurs in 7–14 days at temperatures between 70–75°F (21–24°C).Once the risk of frost has passed and the soil has warmed, transplant the seedlings outdoors or into larger containers. Space the plants about 12–18 inches apart to ensure good airflow and prevent overcrowding. Fino Verde basil is also well-suited to container gardening, making it a great option for small spaces or patios.Basil prefers consistently moist soil, but it should be well-drained to avoid root rot. Water regularly, particularly during dry spells, but be careful not to overwater. The plant thrives in temperatures between 70–85°F (21–29°C) and benefits from regular pruning. Pinch back the tips of the plant regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent it from flowering too early, as flowers can affect the flavor of the leaves.Harvest leaves as needed, ideally before the plant flowers, for the best flavor. Fino Verde basil can be used fresh, or the leaves can be dried or frozen for later use. It’s an excellent herb for fresh salads, pasta dishes, and Mediterranean-style cooking.(Note to Buyer)Seeds are shipped in clear plastic baggies through USPS to keep shipping free and lightweight.
