Growing basil is deceptively easy and a must-grow herb in your herb garden. It germinates easily, grows quickly and produces harvest with little effort…at first. Then summer heat comes, and our basil plants face two challenges: bolting and deadly powdery mildew disease. The Prospera basil variety line claims to cure these problems, so I tested the amazing new basil that fixes everything. I am so blown away by these basil varieties that I must share the results with you!
