BASIL – Sweet Basil Seeds – Heirloom QTY: 200 Quantity : 200 Seeds Basil is perhaps the most popular and widely used culinary herb in the world. It is a tender annual, aromatic plant with a spicy odor and flavor. How to plant: Propagate by seed Germination temperature: A median temperature of 70 F Days to emergence: 5-7 Seed can be saved 3 years if stored properly Sow seeds 1/4″ deep, 2-3 seeds per inch, in rows 18″ apart. Firm the soil over the seeds. Thinning is not necessary, but a final spacing of 4-8″ apart produces healthy, full plants. Transplant: Sow indoors 6 weeks prior to setting out. Plant 1/4″ deep and keep at 70°F for best germination. Transplant to the garden when seedlings have 3-4 sets of leaves, spacing at 4-8″ apart in rows 18″ apart. Further Tips Basil also likes to be kept well-watered. Poorly prepared soils that are low in nutrients result in slow growing basil that is not very flavorful. Basil is excellent as a decorative/culinary herb in patio or balcony containers or in the garden. Use floating row cover to protect crop from early pests. Pinching the tips of stems encourages a bushy plant and more leaf growth resulting in a round plant full of aromatic basil. Basil flower buds should be removed by pinching as soon as you see them form. Leaving them on the plant will affect the flavor of the leaves.
