If you've ever strolled through a big patch of Basil on a summer afternoon, you know that mouth-watering, delectable aroma. Well, you can get that every day -- and from just one plant! -- of Marseille. This French variety is the unquestioned queen of fragrance, with foliage so aromatic you'll find yourself making excuses to go out to the garden or patio and brush past it! A dwarf plant, Marseille apparently concentrates all its energy on producing big, showy, wonderfully scented foliage. The leaves are larger than most other varieties, and the plant is nicely branched, so you get a big harvest in very little space. Expect Marseille to reach 10 inches high and about 8 inches wide at maturity, bursting with delectable spice in every inch! Marseille is a fine variety for growing in containers, and if you scatter a few among your unscented annual flowering plants, you'll find that bees and butterflies are suddenly visiting! And of course Basil is indispensable to Tomatoes, so be sure to include it among the Tomatoes, Eggplants, and other members of your "lasagne garden"! The perfect size for a low hedge, Marseille makes an aromatic edging for the driveway or footpaths. Talk about an edible ornamental -- you can grab a few leaves in passing as you enter the house and get a delectable head start on dinner! Grow Marseille in a rich, well-drained soil in full sun. Pinch out growing tips to encourage bushier plants.
