Pesto Besto is a vigorous, upright Ocimum hybrid reaching 18 to 30 inches in height. This game-changing variety is highly resistant to downy mildew, ensuring a prolific harvest of aromatic, sweet Italian leaves throughout the summer. It thrives in full sun and rich, well-drained soil with temperatures above 65°F. Ideal for culinary uses like pesto, pasta, and salads, its flavor remains strong and fresh. Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth and prevents early flowering.
