'Ajaka' Basil
‘Ajaka’ basil is a very interesting aromatic and ornamental variety for pots, herb containers, urban vegetable gardens, and edible flowerbeds. It forms a vigorous, bushy plant with very fragrant dark green foliage and a beautiful decorative presence. Less prone to bolting quickly than some classic basils, it allows for a longer and more regular harvest for cooking.
Easy to cultivate, ‘Ajaka’ basil prefers a warm and sunny location, with fertile, light, and well-drained soil. It is very well suited for container cultivation, especially on a terrace, balcony, or near the kitchen, where its leaves can be harvested as needed. Its aromatic foliage is used in pestos, sauces, salads, tomato dishes, soups, marinades, and several summer recipes.
