Notes
'Mia Prospera Active DMR' basil (Ocimum basilicum 'Mia Prospera Active DMR') is an herb for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. This semi-compact Genovese is highly resistant to downy mildew, and bees and butterflies visit it.
Pairs well with Tabasco pepper, Bok choy, and Lemon.
