This is our favorite for seasoning and drying. Introduced before 1806, its larger than normal leaves are a dark, glossy green with a stronger and more concentrated flavor than standard strains. Best started indoors in very early spring. Takes up to 3 weeks to germinate. Transplant into the garden in rows 8-12 inches apart. Enrich soil with mature compost. Harvest outer leaves by gently twisting the stem away from the base of the plant. Can be used fresh, dried, or frozen.
