Basil 'Prospera', *Ocimum basilicum* 'Prospera', is a modern, downy mildew-resistant variety of sweet basil. It was specifically bred to perform reliably in both field and greenhouse settings, where many traditional basil cultivars suffer heavy losses from this fungal disease. The plant produces glossy green leaves with the classic sweet, aromatic basil flavor and scent, making it a dependable option for gardeners and growers who want consistent yields with minimal disease management.
This compact, bushy cultivar typically reaches 12–18 inches in height and spread, forming a well-branched, productive habit suited to containers, raised beds, or in-ground planting. It thrives as a tender perennial in USDA hardiness zones 9–11 but is usually grown as an annual in zones 2–11. 'Prospera' is prized for fresh culinary uses such as pesto, salads, pasta sauces, and garnishes; its leaves can also be dried or frozen to preserve flavor for cooking throughout the year.
