Basil, Mammolo

Rating:
99% of 100

A classic Italian Genovese basil with a tidy, compact habit. A superb container variety, Mammolo has been bred to have an exceptionally high leaf to stem ratio and a compact growth habit. The short internodes mean that plants are super bushy, free of undesirable leggy stems and a rangy habit. Leaves are large with a classic Italian basil aroma and flavor, without the minty smell and flavor that some experience with Italian basils. This variety is respected by large-scale growers in Italy, who need a uniform, vigorous basil with gold standard flavor to please the discerning local palate for basil. A market grower’s favorite and a must-have for those growing in pots.
