A 'Genovese' basil with all the typical pesto-popping flavour you want, plus it's resistant to downy mildew. Compact in growth and habit so perfect for summer patio pots and windowsills. Keep well-watered for a plentiful supply, pinching out any flowering shoots to prevent ‘D-fenceil’ from bolting and going to seed.
