Prospera® Compact DMR Organic Basil Seeds

Glossy deep emerald leaves with a slightly cupped shape forming dense, compact plants.

Prospera® Compact DMR is an annual Genovese basil that produces steadily through the season, offering classic flavor and high yields for containers, garden beds, and edible plantings.

What You'll Use It For

A strong pick when you want basil that keeps up with how often you use it.

• Harvesting leaves for pesto, sauces, and fresh dishes
• Growing a full, compact plant in containers or beds
• Keeping a steady supply of fresh basil through the season
• Snipping regularly to encourage continued growth
• Adding dense greenery to edible gardens

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

This one does more with less space. The plants stay compact but produce heavily, so you're not constantly replanting or chasing growth.

The added disease resistance also means it holds up better through the season, especially when conditions aren't perfect. Less replacing, more harvesting.
