Ocimum basilicum 'Genovese' <br>GENOVESE BASIL
Ocimum basilicum 'Genovese' <br>GENOVESE BASIL

The most popular culinary basil that is loved for its large leaves and sweet, mildly spicy flavour! Sourced from Genoa area of Italy, the pesto capital of the world! This is a great culinary variety as it does not bolt as quickly as other basil. It also retains its flavour well as it ages. Perfect for pesto salads, and any dish calling for a large leaved basil.

Harvest in the morning when leaves contain the highest concentration of aromatic oils.

Basil will grow in full sun or a partially shady location where it will get 6-8 hours of sun per day.

Type: Annual herb

Seeds per packet: 25

I started ordering seeds from this company a year ago... all the seeds germinated which i cant say about other seed companies' They also have a great selection of usual seeds and old time seeds which i love.

I got these pretty quickly and in perfect order. I can't wait to see what they look like once I plant them. I have another colour and they were so pretty I had to try these. I have used this seller a few times now with great success, and will again. Everything I have ordered has been of good quality!

I spent about a month designing my border and cottage gardens while it was raining and snowing. I made a list of the flowers and now I started to shop for my seeds. I went to all the usual seed retailers and could not get much of what I wanted. I thought I was going to have to shop online in the USA which is against my principles in this environment we find ourselves. THEN I FOUND YOU! Thank you for being there for me on two fronts: I fully completed my list and I shopped Canadian. It's been a really good day. Thank you

I'm on my third order. I'm really happy. My first seedlings have already come out and some have even been transplanted into larger pots. There are even plants that I had difficulty finding, and I found them on your site. A big thank you to you! And surely a future order in 2026

The pictures and reviews caught my attention and thus my order. I also am determined to buy Canadian and after seeing that you ship from Toronto sealed the deal. Buy locally, provincially or nationally will be my modus operandi for the foreseeable future

Never grew coleus from seed, and it was surprisingly easy. They germinated quickly on my heat mat and grow lights. Can't wait to see them in the garden!

I ordered several seeds packets from Ferri Seeds and they all arrived in a safe little box, with each type in a plastic baggie or glossy paper pouch. The seeds were good quality and some have already germinated! I had a question as a follow up and they responded over the weekend! Would buy from them again in the future.

I have a “wild “ garden , and love to bring in grasses and flowers with the unique shapes and subtle colours I see in nature. My plant references are often gardens in the UK and Europe where there is a tremendous diversity of plants available, that were previously not accessible in Canada. Thank- you so much, Ferri Seeds , for opening up my garden world .

I was looking for a local, reputable company to buy seeds from and was very pleasantly surprised at their selection and pricing. I found more on this site than I could on bigger name brands. I'm very pleased to be able to have gotten exactly what I wanted and not have to compromise with a bigger company. Will definitely be purchasing again, especially love the more rare varieties offered.

We placed our order on Thursday and received it on Monday. Here in Canada the tracking link is accurate. Ferri seeds tells you when they're shipping and when your order is delivered, the seeds arriving in excellent condition. We will definitely be ordering again this spring. Keep up the good work!

My order, made late afternoon, April 27th, and needed in a bit of a rush, was mailed next morning and arrived in my rural mailbox in BC, May 5th.

Thank you for your cheerful, friendly emails and prompt service. I certainly recommend you others and will be sure to keep an eye on the range of seeds you offer in future.

I happened across Ferri Seeds website when I Googled a particular plant I’d been looking for. I was impressed by their selection of all types of seeds and their good product descriptions along with detailed germination instructions. I found the site and ordered on a Saturday. On Sunday I got a notice that my order had been shipped! The seeds were in my P.O. box on Friday. Such amazing service. It’s too early to comment on germination rates — I’ve just started the stratification process today.
