| Grow this beautiful trio for utility in the kitchen. Genovese basil has big smooth green leaves, use in pesto and pasta. Red Rubin brings distinctive colour and pungent flavour to salads and vinegars. Cinnamon basil's leaves are lovely as a garnish and choice for teas. It has smaller leaves than the Genovese and lovely pink flowers. Use the flowers in salads too! |

Nufar is a large-leafed Genovese type basil, with some tolerance of fusarium wilt (a soil fungus that makes the whole plant wilt and die). As with other plants that are said to be fungus tolerant, it is not completely so cultural methods are still needed; be fastidious for best results.
