Expensive especially if wilting when purchased
Tesco potted Basil is very expensive compared with other local supermarkets. To make this lovely herb last longer just give it a little water occasionally. I chop the leaves roughly and mix with olive oil then portion into an ice cube tray and pop into the freezer. Great in salad and pasta dishes.
It only lasted a couple of days before the leaves
It only lasted a couple of days before the leaves shrivelled, despite watering it. Might as well have bought the cut basil.
Had Basil for months now.
I have had my Basil for ages now, it has grown so much that I have re-potted it and put into the conservatory to use 'as' and 'when' I need it. Very pleased!!!! Maybe some of the other people on the review site are squashing it in between their other shopping and that is why it looks dead. But if it looks fresh when you buy it, what can go wrong.?1?
Dead
When I got this home and unwrapped it, it wasd half dead, very disappointed.
Wilted
Wilted. No ‘sell by’ date on wrapper!
nearly all start dying immediately after purchase

Very poor quality!
Very poor quality plant. Leaves going brown at the edges, shrivelling up and then dropping off and I only got it 3 days ago. Very disappointed.
half dead
Not really very good - half was dead on arrival (although wrapped so not seen until I came to water it).
Excellent quality basil
Very fresh pot of basil that smells and tastes divine! Bought to make peanut pesto to serve with fresh salmon and asparagus. Will definitely purchase again when the pot eventually runs out.
Avoid
They don't last even when re-potted
