    Grow Italian Large Leaf Basil Seeds from Seed

    Italian Large Leaf Basil Seeds — Italian Large Leaf Basil is the backbone of classic Mediterranean cooking — its broad, fragrant leaves deliver an intensely sweet, slightly spicy flavor that transforms any dish. More aromatic and sweeter than Genovese basil, this beloved heirloom variety is prized by home cooks and market gardeners alike for its generous harvests and unmatched kitchen performance.

    What Makes This Variety Worth Growing

    Pinch back flowers as they appear and watch this plant reward you with armloads of fragrant leaves all summer long.

    Plan It into the Garden

    Clear planting, spacing and maturity information makes this variety easier to work into a home vegetable, herb or flower garden from the start.
    How to use

    Direct sow after last frost when soil has warmed to 60°F, or start indoors 6–8 weeks before transplanting. Basil thrives in warm, sunny spots with consistent moisture. Pinch flower buds as they appear to extend the harvest and prevent bolting — this simple habit doubles your yield.

    The Story behind Seattle Seed Company

    Seattle Seed Company represents a side of American craftsmanship that begins before anything is harvested, cooked, or made—it begins with the seed.

    Founded in 2010, this family-owned company operates from Whidbey Island, Washington, with a mission centered on helping people grow their own food while supporting small farms, seed cooperatives, genetic diversity, and more sustainable gardening practices.

    What drew us to Seattle Seed Company is its thoughtful approach to what it sells. The team doesn't simply fill packets with whatever varieties are readily available. It works with smaller farms and seed cooperatives and carefully selects seeds for quality, reliability, and value, while maintaining a commitment to non-GMO varieties through the Safe Seed Pledge.

    We also love how approachable the brand makes gardening. A seasoned grower can choose individual heirloom varieties, while someone who has never planted a seed can start with a vegetable garden collection, countertop microgreen kit, or sprouting kit and experience the satisfaction of growing food at home.

    That's why Seattle Seed Company belongs at My American Goods®: a family-owned American business helping people reconnect with where food begins—one seed, one garden, and one harvest at a time.
