A classic, aromatic basil and one of the most popular culinary herbs worldwide. Producing lush green leaves with a sweet, full flavoured aroma, sweet basil is used extensively in fresh and cooked dishes. Plants grow to around 90 cm tall and thrive in warm, sunny conditions. Native to subtropical regions, it is well suited to summer growing and is often planted alongside tomatoes, where it is valued as a companion plant believed to help deter nematodes. The strong scent of the foliage also helps repel flies and mosquitoes.

Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
