Ocimum basilcum minimum
Spicy Globe forms a perfect 12-18” globe with smaller and more tender leaves that are easier for chopping or slicing. The strong spicy basil taste and fragrance of this smaller leaf variety adds the same intense flavoring to dishes as the larger leaf varieties. It’s delicious added to tomato dishes and pasta. Remove flowers that form as they will make leaves bitter and cause plant to wilt. Harvest leaves when they reach a height of 6-8 inches, remove single leaves or parts of stems but leave at least 3 leaves for continued growth. The mounding shape of this variety works well in small gardens, containers, window boxes or borders.
