Product Description
Homegrown tomatoes and fresh basil are a perfect match--but getting a harvest at the same time can be tricky. Many basil varieties are prone to flower in late summer. Emerald Towers Basil flowers 10-12 weeks later than standard basil. This means you can harvest glossy green basil leaves for months. Emerald Towers offers the standard Genovese taste--and is a good addition to salads, pesto and your favorite recipes. The plants grow 2-3 feet tall in an upright habit and are suitable for planting in containers, raised beds and the garden.
