{"product_id":"renee-s-garden-basil-salad-leaf","title":"‘Heirloom Salad Leaf Basil’ Kitchen Herb Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eSalad leaf basil is a tender, flavorful variety of Ocimum basilicum with broad, crinkled leaves suited to fresh eating. This exclusive strain, often called “lettuce leaf basil,” produces large, 4-inch leaves with a mild, buttery flavor and sweet fragrance—suited to culinary uses where a softer basil note is desired. The lush, textured leaves are especially well-suited for raw preparations. Use them as a flavorful salad green, in place of lettuce on sandwiches, or as edible wraps for fresh appetizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eOcimum basilicum\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tender Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrop category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKitchen profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Salad leaf basil is a tender, flavorful variety of Ocimum basilicum with broad, crinkled leaves suited to fresh eating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Container Compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed packet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight at Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"–18\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun\/Shade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring or Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStarting location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct Sow or Start Indoors \u0026amp; Transplant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch ‘Heirloom Salad Leaf Basil’ Kitchen Herb to the light, soil, and temperature information recorded for the species. Some herbs are direct sown, while others benefit from a protected start or species-specific pretreatment, so retain the packet for reference. Keep seed media from drying during establishment without leaving it saturated. Once plants are growing, harvest modestly so foliage remains for continued development. Assign perennial herbs a long-term location, and consider containers for species with a spreading habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore sowing ‘Heirloom Salad Leaf Basil’ Kitchen Herb, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related options in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all-seed-packs-and-bulk-seeds\"\u003eSeed Packs and Bulk Seeds Collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Renee's Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21544222195825,"sku":"SNV5457","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/products\/renee-s-garden-basil-salad-leaf-heirloom.jpg?v=1747084083","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/renee-s-garden-basil-salad-leaf","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
