Tucker Bush Basil 140mm

Plectranthus graveolens 

Although it’s a type of mint, Bush Basil is strongly aromatic and somewhat resembles basil, complimenting Mediterranean flavours like tomato and garlic. Scatter fresh leaves on pizza or caprese salad, or toss small amounts into a blender with pine nuts and olive oil for a fragrant, homemade pesto.

To harvest, pluck the young leaves off the plant throughout the growing season. Small new Leaves may be used fresh, or desiccated for later use — keep in mind the aroma and flavour in harvested leaves will fade over time.
