Gemma Italian Genovese basil seeds produce upright plants with bright green, highly aromatic leaves, ideal for making pesto sauce. Harvesting begins approximately 40 days after sowing, while regular pinching helps the plant grow fuller.
This variety thrives in light, well-drained soil and needs thorough watering. The seeds germinate in 10–12 days.
