Notes

'Lihi Prospera Active DMR' basil (Ocimum basilicum 'Lihi Prospera Active DMR') is an herb for containers, food gardens, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Its fragrant leaves attract bees and butterflies.

Pairs well with Bok choy, Lemon, and Patchouli.
