Meet the Basil Flight
Most people think they know what basil tastes like. They have only met one kind.
The Basil Flight is four basil varieties side by side — sweet and classic, bright and citrusy, deep and anise-forward, and something unexpected in between. Each one distinct. Each one worth growing on its own. Together, they change the way you think about one of the most familiar herbs in the kitchen.
None of these are the flat-pack basil from the grocery store. These are specialty varieties chosen because they each do something different — and because tasting the difference is the whole point. Each plant arrives in its own 3.25" nursery pot in a wine-bottle carrier. Choose the flight that reflects what is growing in your garden right now.
Your Flight
Grower's Choice — Four Basils, Seasonally Curated
What arrives in your carrier is determined by what is growing best right now. The flight always includes four distinct varieties — chosen for range, contrast, and the best possible tasting experience at the time you order.
The current lineup is always noted on this listing. Whatever four arrive, the flight will have range — sweet, citrusy, savory, and something that surprises you.
Possible varieties include: Genovese · Lemon Basil · Lime Basil · Thai Basil · Holy Basil / Tulsi
The Basils
Each variety in the Basil Flight was chosen for a distinct flavor role. Here is what makes each one worth growing:
Genovese Basil
Flavor: Rich, sweet, and full-bodied — the classic basil flavor that most people know and reach for first. Broad leaves, bold aroma, deeply versatile.
Best for: Pesto, pasta, pizza, caprese — anywhere you want unmistakable, familiar basil flavor
Pairs with: Everything. The foundation basil that makes all other varieties more interesting by comparison.
Lemon Basil
Flavor: Bright, citrusy, and gently sweet. Lighter than Genovese with a clean lemon note that lifts dishes without overpowering them.
Best for: Seafood, salads, light pasta, gin cocktails, lemon desserts, herbal teas
Pairs with: Lemon, white fish, fresh cheese, prosecco, chamomile — anything that benefits from a soft citrus lift.
Thai Basil
Flavor: Deep, anise-forward, and savory with a spiced edge. Holds up to heat and muddling in a way sweet basil never can.
Best for: Thai curries, stir-fries, pho, Southeast Asian dishes, savory cocktails, basil smashes
Pairs with: Coconut milk, fish sauce, chili, lime, lemongrass — the herbs and flavors of Southeast Asian cooking.
Holy Basil / Tulsi
Flavor: Warm, clove-like, and faintly spiced with a sacred complexity. The most aromatic and meditative basil in the flight.
Best for: Thai stir-fries, herbal teas, cocktails, dishes where you want basil with more depth and spice
Pairs with: Chili, ginger, garlic, coconut, and anything warm-spiced. Also exceptional steeped as an herbal tea.
Lime Basil
Flavor: Bright, zesty, and sharper than Lemon Basil — a more assertive citrus note with a slightly resinous edge.
Best for: Mexican and Southeast Asian dishes, ceviche, cocktails, lime-forward desserts, sparkling drinks
Pairs with: Lime, cilantro, avocado, fish tacos, tequila and mezcal cocktails — anything where citrus needs to cut through
