Grow Sweet Basil from freshly harvested Ocimum basilicum herb seeds. Sweet Basil produces large, tender green leaves that are both fragrant, as well as tasty. Often used in Italian pestos, this herb will grow to a mature height of roughly 36 inches tall, producing 3 inch leaves. Sweet Basil is categorized as an annual herb plant, meaning it will grow quickly and later wilt with the first killing frost. Sweet Basil takes anywhere between 60 to 90 days for harvesting.
