Description Wonderful lemon fragrance & taste, a real culinary delight. Makes great pesto, especially for fish dishes. Add a few leaves to the blanching water for veggies for extra flavor. The same large, deeply pleated leaves as Genovese that everyone loves, but instead of green, Red Freddy boasts deep Roman purple. Siam Queen is more tender and intensely flavored than Sweet Basil. Its highly aromatic, licorice-basil aroma is more stable at high and extended cooking temperatures than other basils. Commonly used in Thai cooking as well as Italian recipes. A lovely variegated form with light green leaves and a creamy white edge. Will live indoors as a tropical perennial. Pungent basil and lemon flavor. Distinctive columnar habit. Semi-prostrate branching stems covered with hoplike pods and lavender florets. Wonderful in containers or cascading down boulder walls. Needs well drained soil. This is the leading potted oregano variety in Italy. This is a highly aromatic oregano that is ideal for sauces, meats and dressings. It is even used in Italian pastries. Leaves are dissected and curled together, presenting a dense surface. Flavor is milder than flat-leaf varieties. The best parsley for flavor. Italian plain-leaved form is prized for its extra rich flavor for seasoning soups, etc. Rambling plants bear tomato-like fruits with an acidic tang, enclosed in a papery husk. Use cooked or raw. Bears best when 2 or more plants are planted near each other.
