Description
Le basilic Everleaf Emerald Tower est une variété aromatique hautement appréciée pour son port vertical et compact, bien adapté aux petits espaces, à la culture en pots sur le balcon ou à la plantation en rangs serrés au potager. Sa floraison particulièrement tardive permet des récoltes prolongées tout au long de la saison estivale. Doté de grandes feuilles vert foncé brillantes au parfum intense de basilic de Gênes, il est idéal pour relever plats méditerranéens, sauces ou infusions. Résistant à la montée en graines, il conserve sa saveur plus longtemps que les variétés classiques.
Le Basilic Everleaf Emerald Tower se distingue par sa croissance verticale exceptionnelle, son feuillage dense et sa floraison très tardive, qui permet une récolte prolongée sans montée en graines prématurée. Il montre également une bonne résistance naturelle aux maladies fongiques comme le botrytis, et s'adapte aussi bien à la culture en pot qu’en pleine terre. Cette variété comblera les jardiniers qui recherchent un basilic vigoureux, structuré et décoratif, tout en étant très productif. Les fleurs, riches en eucalyptol et en eugénol, ajoutent à ses vertus apaisantes, antibactériennes et relaxantes.
Au jardin, le Basilic Everleaf Emerald Tower préfère les sols riches, humifères et bien drainés. Il redoute le froid et l’humidité stagnante, et se cultive idéalement en plein soleil, à l’abri du vent. La récolte commence entre 6 à 10 semaines après le semis et peut se poursuivre tout l’été. Pour récolter, il suffit de couper les feuilles à la main ou aux ciseaux dès qu’elles dégagent un parfum intense. En pot, la plante nécessite des arrosages réguliers, mais sans excès, en évitant d’arroser le feuillage. Sur le balcon, vous pouvez l'accompagner de la tomate cerise ‘Balconi Red F1’, du poivron nain ‘Redskin F1’, et du concombre Rocky (mini) F1.
L'utilisation du basilic dans le bassin méditerranéen remonte à l'Antiquité. Chez les Romains, cette plante était l'emblème des amoureux alors que, chez les Grecs, elle symbolisait la haine et le malheur ! Le basilic est une plante condimentaire largement utilisée pour aromatiser et relever les plats. Riche en huile essentielle, il possède des propriétés adoucissantes, anti-inflammatoires et stimulantes.
Le Basilic Everleaf Emerald Tower développe une saveur puissante et traditionnelle, idéale pour sublimer plats méditerranéens, salades, sauces et bien sûr, le fameux pesto. Il accompagne à merveille les tomates, les fromages frais, les fruits d’été ou les viandes grillées. Pour une conservation optimale, gardez les tiges quelques jours dans un verre d’eau au réfrigérateur. Il peut aussi être séché, mais cela atténue son parfum. Et au potager, n’hésitez pas à l’associer aux tomates : en plus d’enrichir vos plats, il les protège naturellement des nématodes, tout en créant une belle harmonie dans les rangs.

Planting and care
Sowing and care: 'Everleaf Emerald Tower' basil enjoys a cool, loose soil, rich in humus. This young plant also requires a partially shaded position to thrive. Basil is sensitive to direct sun exposure, as this tends to scorch the leaves. Basil is a plant that is typically placed in the kitchen garden, but it adapts very well to being grown in a pot in a conservatory or on a balcony.
Sowing: sowing is carried out in spring, from February under a layer or frame and from April in open ground until early summer. Sow in a very well-spaced line in a flat furrow about ten centimetres wide and 2 cm deep. The ranks should be spaced 25 cm apart. Cover the seeds with the soil removed along the furrow and then water. Germination takes between 10 to 15 days. As soon as the first young plants appear, carry out light thinning. The more you stagger the sowing, the longer the harvest period will be. Sowing can be done in a pot to be replanted as soon as the young plant reaches 10 cm (4 to 6 leaves) in height. Basil can remain in a pot to be kept handy in the kitchen if it is well-lit.
When transplanting, space your young plants 20 cm apart in all directions.
Care: basil requires simple watering (or preventive mulching) when the soil dries out. It is lack of water (water stress) that can cause basil to go to seed. Pinch off the flower spikes as soon as they appear, to encourage leaf production. Basil is susceptible to powdery mildew, grey mould and aphids. To combat moulds and powdery mildew, reduce watering and thin out the planting. Against aphids, you can treat the young plants with a water-olive oil mixture.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
