Sweet Basil Large leaved (Ocimum basilicum)
Fresh basil from the garden is by far the best herb to use when cooking anything Italian. We grow basil also in pots around the house because of the wonderful smell and fresh green look. Try combining them with annual flowers in separate pots.
We germinate seeds indoors or in the greenhouse in the 77-cell trays with 2 seeds per cell or more if you use a bigger cell size. As soon as the roots have filled the cells we plant them out. Keep in mind that basil can not handle frost. Seeds germinate better and faster if you can keep them around 20℃. Plants grow great when multi-sown.
