Growing Information +
  • LightFull sun
  • SowingStart seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before your last frost, or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.
  • Planting DepthSow approximately 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination.
  • GerminationTypically 5–10 days in warm conditions.
  • SpacingSpace plants approximately 8–12 inches apart. For taller cutting stems, give plants enough room for good air circulation and strong growth.
  • SoilPlant in fertile, well-draining soil. Thai basil appreciates consistent moisture but does not like waterlogged conditions.
  • Harvesting for EatingBegin harvesting leaves once plants are established. Regular pinching encourages branching and additional leaf production.
  • Harvesting for Cut FlowersFor longer stems, allow selected plants to grow taller without frequent pinching. Harvest flowering stems when several blooms have opened and place them directly into clean water.
  • Growing TipThai basil loves warm weather. Once summer heat arrives, plants can grow quickly and produce an abundance of fragrant foliage and flowering stems.
  • Pack SizeApproximately 40 seeds
  • Production noteBasil is very sensitive to frost and prefers warm soil. Harvest early in the day and move stems quickly into clean water.
