Marseillais Bush Basil Seeds
Marseillais Basil, also known as
Marsellais Basil,
Marseille Basil,
Marseilles Basil,
Marsellais Basil and
Provence Basil is a compact basil with large leaves that produce pretty little yellow and white flowers when in bloom.
This legendary
French basil is valued to be the queen of fragrance of all the
basils. One plant of this
basil produces enough fantastic aroma to make you believe your in the middle of a romantic French basil garden!
The leaves of the
Marseillais Bush Basil plant are larger than most other varieties, and the plant is nicely branched, so it can produce a big harvest in very little space.
Marseille is a great choice for a container or windowsill herb garden.
This
basil is great for all dishes but is especially wonderful in French cuisine.
"La Marseillaise" ("The [Song of] Marseille" is the national anthem of France. It was written and composed by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle in 1792 and adopted in 1795 as the nation's first anthem.
As with all
basils, you can also use this basil in the garden as a natural insecticide to repel aphids, mites, and tomato horn worms.
