45 Types of Basil to Grow in Your Herb Garden, Part 2

🌱Here's the second installment of basil varieties that you don't want to miss adding to your garden! This remarkable herb has so many stunning varieties that are so rewarding to grow and experience!

You can see the full post here: 45 Types of Basil to Grow in Your Herb Garden, Part 2.

It’s a continuation of my first one: 38 Types of Basil to Grow in Your Herb Garden, Part 1. This new post contains 45 additional varieties. Some are similar to the first 38, with a few that share a name or origin but have a different growth habit. There are always new iterations to discover.

Each of these two posts has taken a year for me to plan, order the seeds, grow them under my lights, transplant into my garden, grow, tend, and adore, and then document in photos, smell tests, and flavor tests. Each of these posts has been a real labor of love. I really hope you’ll find your new favorite basils to grow here!
