Growing instructions

Start basil seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors after the last frost in well-drained soil. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep, and space plants 12-18 inches apart in a location with full sun. Basil prefers consistently moist soil and warm temperatures. Pinch off flower buds as they appear to encourage bushy growth and prolong the harvest. No stratification is required for these varieties.
