Description
Description
Prospera® Compact DMR Organic Basil produces dense, tidy plants with large, dark green, heavily cupped leaves measuring 3–4 inches long. The flavor and aroma stay true to traditional Genovese basil, making it ideal for pesto, pasta, salads, and fresh summer dishes.
Plants grow 16–18 inches tall with tight spacing between leaves, creating a full, productive habit well suited for containers and garden beds. This variety offers improved resistance to downy mildew and Fusarium wilt, helping maintain healthy foliage through the growing season.
Harvest regularly to encourage new growth and delay flowering.
