Ocimum basilicum
Downy Mildew Resistant, Productive, Compact, and Fusarium Resistant.
High Downy Mildew and Fusarium resistance make this basil a top choice for fresh market and processing growers. Authentic flavor and appearance. Relatively slow to bolt with dark-green leaves about 2.5" long. A high leaf to stem ratio makes this variety a top choice for many open-field producers catering to the fresh market and processing industries. Unmatched Downy Mildew protection provides a solution to growers struggling to produce a crop.
