It is traditionally used to make pesto and, in particular, tomato-based dishes. The leaves are very wide for basils, reaching up to 2 inches in length. In the sun, it is slow to bolt (go to seed). One way to tell the varieties apart is that sweet basil has pointed leaves, while green basil has much rounder leaves and a bushier plant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBasil is happiest when there is plenty of sunlight and warm weather. All of the varieties are usually susceptible to cold or even mild temperatures. You may want to start the seeds in late spring or early summer, depending on your venue. Alternatively, you can start the plants indoors at any time and move them outside when the weather warms up. Basil can be pruned or cut back to promote bushier growth and a more plentiful harvest. Still leave a few leaves on each plant while harvesting. Ensure that any flowers that begin to grow are removed. Otherwise, the plants' energy would be diverted to flowering rather than leaf production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration:
