{"product_id":"basil-amazel-2-sizes","title":"Basil - Heat Tolerant Italian","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eItalian type. Heat tolerant and resistant to downy mildew, a disease that often plagues basil. Deliciously aromatic leaves. The more you harvest, the better it grows.  We have had plants of this cultivar live up to 3 years, surviving the heat of summer here in St Pete. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eUnlike typical basil, the seed sterile and therefore continues to produce leaves and shoots even after flower initiation unlike other basil varieties that focus most or all of their energy into seed production. For best flavor and leaf production, harvest and or pinch regularly to promote fresh tender growth.  If heavy flowering happens late in the season that will likely affect taste, but when it is actively growing new leaves and shoots it will have its best flavor.  A small amount of flowering should not affect taste at all.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Little Tree Homestead","offers":[{"title":"4\" Pot","offer_id":49041937203517,"sku":"","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Gallon Pot","offer_id":49041937236285,"sku":"","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/4277\/7661\/files\/heattolerant.jpg?v=1757707636","url":"https:\/\/littletreehomestead.org\/products\/basil-amazel-2-sizes","provider":"Little Tree Homestead","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
