Basil ‘Smaragd’ Seeds 🌿

Ocimum basilicum

Basil ‘Smaragd’ is a beautifully compact and highly aromatic basil variety, perfect for pots, containers, windowsills, greenhouses, and kitchen gardens. This variety produces dense green foliage with exceptional flavour, making it an ideal choice for fresh summer dishes, tomato salads, sauces, soups, meat, and fish recipes.

Its naturally compact growing habit makes it especially suitable for container growing and greenhouse production, while regular harvesting encourages bushier growth and a continuous supply of fragrant leaves throughout the season.

Fresh or dried, Basil ‘Smaragd’ adds rich Mediterranean flavour to everyday cooking and is also traditionally used when preserving cucumbers, tomatoes, marrows, and other vegetables.
