Recommended pot size
Minimum diameter: 25 cm (9.8 in)
Pinch the tips to encourage branching and limit flowering if you prefer leaves. Basil is sensitive to cold and should not remain in constantly waterlogged soil. Organic 'Rosie' basil is distinguished by its dark purplish-red foliage and robust stems. It combines a decorative presence with the culinary use of aromatic leaves. Place the container in its final location before filling it. Choose a pot with drainage holes that is stable and large enough for root development; a simple closed cache-pot does not allow water to drain. Use a potting mix rather than compact garden soil. Moisten the substrate before sowing or planting, without saturating it. Leave a space at the top to facilitate watering and keep distance between the plants. Regularly check moisture with your finger, as the surface may dry out while the bottom remains damp. Water slowly until water comes out through the holes, then empty the saucer. During hot spells, check the pots more often. Fertilize according to the needs of the crop and the instructions for the chosen product. Roots have a limited volume, so container gardening requires different monitoring than planting in the ground. Position any supports immediately upon setup. Keep easy access to inspect the leaves, remove damaged parts, and harvest without pulling on the stems. At the end of the cycle, remove debris and clean the equipment before reuse.

Companion plants
Organize neighboring crops according to their light requirements, height, and space occupied at maturity. Prevent tall plants from permanently shading smaller ones or blocking access for watering. Successive crops can use the same space if the first is harvested before the next one expands. Flowers diversify the garden, but companion planting does not guarantee the absence of pests. Keep enough air between plants and observe the interactions on-site. Use companion planting as an organizational tool, without attributing automatic protection against diseases to it.

Edible parts
Aromatic leaves
Organic 'Rosie' basil. For 4 servings, use 250 g (9 oz) of plain yogurt, 5 g (0.2 oz) of fresh leaves, and 15 ml (1 tbsp) of lemon juice. To use a small harvest of herbs, prepare a fresh yogurt sauce. Pick a few healthy leaves from a well-identified plant, wash them, and dry them gently. Remove any overly tough stems, then chop the leaves with a clean knife. Mix them into plain yogurt, add a few drops of lemon juice, and season to your taste. Start with a small amount of herb: mint, basil, parsley, and other aromatics have different intensities. Taste before adding more. Serve this sauce with cooked vegetables, potatoes, or flatbread. Prepare only the amount needed for the meal and keep the sauce in the refrigerator until serving. Use clean utensils to avoid contaminating the rest. This culinary idea focuses on the aroma of the leaves; it does not imply any medicinal properties. Always choose a species intended for food use and a harvest from plants grown for that purpose.
