A Negative Situation
The last one I got looked alright on delivery but died straight away. I have bought many of these before and they have always been healthy.
Dead within 36 hours
Bought this on Thursday and by Saturday it was wilted and going brown. I do know how to take care of basil in a pot, but this gave me no chance!
Purchased 2 times, tried not watering and watering
Purchased 2 times, tried not watering and watering - leaves shrivelled after 2 days and had to bin it both times so not cost effective.
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.
