Ocimum basilicum Bonsai is a compact, mounding Greek basil that grows into a tidy, spherical shape reaching six to twelve inches in height and width. Its tiny, medium-green leaves offer a pungent flavor and require no chopping, making them ideal for fresh use in soups, sauces, and pesto. This fast-growing annual thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, performing exceptionally well in containers or on sunny windowsills. It is a perfect choice for small-space gardening and indoor culinary use.
