Notes
'Everleaf' basil (Ocimum basilicum 'Everleaf') is an herb for containers, food gardens, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. This basil is productive, compact, and slow-bolting, and its fragrant leaves draw bees and butterflies.
Pairs well with Tabasco pepper, Lettuce, and Patchouli.
