{"product_id":"basil-mammolo","title":"Basil Seeds, Mammolo","description":"\u003cp\u003e(\u003cem\u003eOcimum basilicum\u003c\/em\u003e). A classic Italian Genovese basil, 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 rangy habit. Leaves are large with a classic Italian basil aroma and flavor, without the minty smell and flavor that some experience with Italian basil. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e This compact, flavorful Italian heirloom variety thrives in warm weather with full sun, needing 8-12 hours of direct sunlight daily. To maximize harvest, remove flower buds promptly, as this encourages the plant to focus on producing flavorful leaves instead of going to seed. The ideal time to harvest leaves is mid-morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the day, as this is when the leaves are most fragrant and will stay fresh the longest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511118070046,"sku":"HB252","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/basil_mammolo.jpg?v=1782396052","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/basil-mammolo","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
