Notes
'Aya Prospera Active DMR' basil (Ocimum basilicum 'Aya Prospera Active DMR') is an herb for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The fragrant leaves attract bees and butterflies, and the plant is highly resistant to downy mildew.
Pairs well with Bright Lights Swiss chard, Bloomsdale spinach, Water mint, and Chocolate daisy.
