Description: Holy Basil Seeds Garden Herb Ocimum tenuifloru, NON-GMO, Heirloom, FREE SHIPPING Holy Basil, or Tulsi, is native to southern Asia where it is known as “The Queen of Herbs”. Holy Basil is an Ayurvedic herb with a long history of medicinal, culinary, and sacred uses. With a more compact habit than culinary basil, the spicy leaves are more commonly cooked than used raw. The flower spikes are dark purple with white flowers, contrasting beautifully with bright green foliage. Sowing: Since basil thrives in warm weather, it grows best when the soil has warmed and there is no chance of frost. Gardeners with short growing seasons may want to start their seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date, sowing them thinly in flats and providing heat to speed germination. Transplant 15-18" apart. To direct sow, plant Italian large leaf basil seeds 1/4" deep in rich soil and full sun, thinning to 15-18" apart when the seedlings develop. Italian large leaf basil seeds also grow well indoors or as a container plant. Growing: Basil thrives in soil that drains well, yet needs water often. If the weather drops below 50 degrees, provide protection. As the plant grows, pruning it helps it to develop into a bushy, healthy plant; pruning is also important because once the plant flowers, it will begin to wilt and die. To prune the plant, remove the top several sets of leaves on each stem, taking care to leave at least three sets of leaves on the lower part.
