Notes
Prospera DMR basil (Ocimum basilicum 'Prospera DMR (CG1)') 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. This classic Genovese basil grows fast and resists downy mildew and Fusarium. Bees and butterflies visit the fragrant plants.
Pairs well with San Marzano tomato, Buttercrunch lettuce, and Anouk Spanish lavender.
