Corsican Basil Seeds - Herbal Plant

Corsican Basil is a compact basil type characterized by its small leaves and finely branched growth habit. It thrives in warm climates and performs well in well-drained, moderately fertile soil with consistent sunlight. This variety is well-suited for container cultivation, borders, and small garden spaces due to its dense and low-growing structure.
