How To Grow

Basil seeds can be sown directly in the garden after all danger of frost has passed. In areas with shorter growing seasons, however, it is ideal to start seeds indoors 4-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow in rows with 1 seed every inch. Space rows 18 inches apart, and thin established seedlings to 6 inches apart. Plant at 1/4" deep, and keep seeds moist until germination. Grow in rich, well-drained soil in an area of full sun. Pinch the tip of the center shoot after the first 6 weeks of growth to encourage branching.
