Amazel Basil® is the first Italian sweet basil that is resistant to downy mildew, a disease that often plagues basil. And since it’s sterile, this large, vigorous plant produces a higher yield of usable, deliciously aromatic leaves.

20-36 inches tall and 12-24 inches wide at maturity
Annual except in zones 10-11
Plant in full sun (6+ hours daily)
Space plants 12-18 inches apart for best results
Produces edible foliage from spring through fall
Great for containers, raised beds, herb gardens
Heat tolerant, edible

Care: Fertilize weekly with Proven Winners® Water Soluble Plant Food for best performance. Best grown in the landscape, although a large container can work as well.

Harvest: The more you harvest, the better it grows. Harvest sprays of leaves by cutting stems just above two new sprouting lateral branches to get lush regrowth.

Best. Basil. Ever.

Best. Basil. Ever.
I order the Proven Winners Amazel Basil every year, and it never disappoints! Last summer mine grew over 3.5 feet tall and nearly 3 feet wide even while growing in a pot. It was incredibly vigorous, healthy, and productive all season long. This year I planted it in the ground to see how much bigger it will get.

Wow!!

Healthy and strong

Love the basil plants…they arrived healthy and strong, despite the Horrible shipping. They were completely knocked out of their little pots. But they were healthy and I carefully repotted them with the loose soil on the bottom of the box.

Arrived as scheduled

Arrived as scheduled. Packaged expertly. Get every year on pre-order.
Basil is the best!! Nothing beats Proven Winners. Other vanities of basil always wither and die. Look forward to basil each year. Use as salad with other greens/herbs or by itself, in place of lettuce on sandwiches, garnish, in recipes, etc. Don't miss this! Delicious!! A real favorite.

Thank you for sharing Garden Friend!
