Growing Tips & Maintenace
- Grows best in an average to moist, well-drained soil, in full sun. Pinching out the flowers will encourage a bushy habit and continued leaf growth. Most basil are tender annuals, which are easy to grow, but very susceptible to frost damage. Do not plant outside until the threat of frost has passed in late spring.
Additional Notes
- Leaves are used as flavouring in cooking.
