Basil Spicy Bush is a compact, ornamental basil variety engineered for container cultivation and space-constrained growing environments. This distinctive cultivar produces a naturally dome-shaped plant architecture with diminutive 1-inch leaves that deliver concentrated spicy-sweet basil flavor despite their modest size. Reaching 8 to 14 inches at maturity, Spicy Bush establishes a tidy, self-contained form ideal for kitchen windowsills, patio containers, and decorative garden borders. The variety's compact habit eliminates the need for aggressive pruning while maintaining continuous leaf production throughout the growing season. The small leaf size and dense branching pattern create visual appeal suitable for ornamental applications without sacrificing culinary utility. The defining characteristic of Spicy Bush is its flavor intensity—the concentrated spicy-sweet basil profile delivers authentic basil character in miniature form, making it valuable for garnishes, fresh preparations, and applications where delicate leaf presentation enhances visual appeal. The variety performs exceptionally well in container culture where root restriction naturally encourages compact growth and prolific branching. Each packet contains 200 Non-GMO, heirloom seeds with germination rates of 80% or better, ensuring reliable establishment and consistent plant vigor. Harvestable foliage develops in approximately 70 days. The variety thrives in warm, sunny conditions where it maintains steady growth and continuous productivity. Spicy Bush is essential for urban gardeners, balcony cultivators, and cooks seeking ornamental herbs with authentic flavor credentials. The variety's compact form and decorative appeal make it suitable for mixed container plantings and kitchen herb collections. Our sustainably sourced seeds arrive in eco-conscious, fully recyclable packaging designed to preserve seed viability while minimizing environmental impact.
