Bonnie Plants Sweet Basil 19.3 oz.

Of all the basil plants I have purchased from Walmart, this Bonnie plant has been the best. Many other brands sell starter plants that are not well established enough to grow outside of a greenhouse. This one, if you put it in a saucer on a sunny windowsill, and water it daily with a weak dilution of plant food, it will grow and grow. You should even have some nice basil leaves for Halloween, to make yummy Bloody Eye Subs! I make tasty turkey meatballs (ingredients PER POUND of Jennie-O ground turkey: saute 1 onion, a couple of cloves of garlic and a handful of fresh Italian parsley, then chop in a food processor. Also PER pound: 1/2 tsp ground oregano, 1/2 tsp ground fennel seed, 1 egg, 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, and approximately 1 Bolillo roll run through a food processor with a fresh basil leaf to make 1 cup of bread crumbs per pound of meat. Plus, some milk to soften the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, Great Value onion and garlic powder, and a squirt of Sriracha if you like. Blend ingredients together, scoop into balls and lightly roll in flour. Place the meatballs in a baking dish with a thin layer of olive oil on the bottom, and bake for 30 minutes at 425 degrees, then turn the meatballs over and bake for 10 minutes.) To assemble the Bloody Eye Subs, cut circles out of basil leaves using a biscuit cutter as a template, and the center of the eye out of a Great Value black olive. Melt a slice of Great Value provolone cheese onto each meatball, and while still hot, place the iris, then the eye center, using a little bit of melted cheese so it will stick. Lightly toast Freshness Guaranteed Bolillo rolls and cut a center slit in the roll, being careful not to cut it open all the way. Slather the inside of the roll with Rao's pasta sauce, then wedge a meatball eye into it. Fill around the eye with a little more sauce. Voila! Bloody Eyes!

I had this Basil plant delivered. The shopper should've said it was out of stock rather than delivering this dreadful, poor quality plant. The pics say it all! I've purchased these from Walmart in the past and they've been really decent. Perhaps there were only a few left to choose from but this was unacceptable in it's condition. Walmart quickly refunded me. Next time I'll do the shopping myself to avoid disappointment.

Plant is extremely small (about 2 inches tall, too limp to tell) and arrived laying totally limp in a completely dry container. Doubtful that it will survive. I wish I was able to do my own shopping, as if this is all that was avaliable, I would have gone elsewhere.

I was pleasantly surprised with the healthy bushy plants I picked up. They have continued to survive thru 2 transplants which I am grateful for. The leaves were lush and deep green and I honestly don't think I couldve chosen better myself which is a awesome surprise for me to say. I now have them planted in the tomatoe plant containers as the perfect companion plants as their pungent scent is very undesirable to most pests therefore stopping a pest issue right off. I definitely recommend this item and Walmarts pickup associates quality choice item I didn't even need to get out of my car to buy!

Arrived half dead and diseased. Brought inside immediately upon delivery, so not left out in the heat. I can't believe anyone would deliver this to a customer.

Live plants delivered in plastic shopping bag. CRUSHED. Better container should have been used, like a box. NOt a plastic bag. I don't expect them to survive. Wasted purchase, money.

Not as pictured. These are tiny starter plants. Only available through delivery. Most of the dirt was in the bag.

The Basil arrived healthy and beautiful, but the main stem had been broken. I'm hoping it can be revived and continue to grow,

I received two plants this afternoon. The first one was healthy and perfect. The second one was wilted with brown leaves.

Got this via grocery pick up and it was dead when I got home.
