Basil 'Piccolino' is a tiny but mighty variety, growing only 6-8 inches tall. This compact heirloom basil is perfect for those with limited space, as it thrives in small pots, window boxes, or even tucked into a corner of your garden bed. Don't let its size fool you though, this little powerhouse packs a punch of flavor with its small, spicy leaves. It's perfect for adding a fresh touch to salads, pizzas, or pasta dishes.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not soggy and provide them with plenty of bright, indirect light. After the last frost, transplant seedlings outdoors or into larger containers, spacing them 6-8 inches apart in full sun. Basil prefers well-draining soil and regular watering.
