Description: These easy-to-grow herb seeds are perfect for any garden, and are pest resistant. With a soil pH range of 5.1-8.5, they can thrive in a variety of soil types such as sand, silt, and loam. Basil plants prefer medium watering and full sun exposure, making them great for temperate, sub-tropical, and tropical climates. The Ocimum Basilicum "Sweet" genus produces delicious Sweet Basil, Pesto and Herb Leaves. With a USDA hardiness zone range of zones 3-12, anyone can cultivate this wonderful plant with ease. Great for container gardens or direct in soil planting.Full Sun: As far as this basil is concerned, the more sunlight, the better! Although it will tolerate a slight degree of partial shade, it will do best when grown in an area that receives at least 6-8 hours of full sun daily. For basil that is to be grown indoors, aim for at least 30 watts of full-spectrum lighting for each plant. Indoor plants will need more light than outdoor plants, so plan on providing at least 10-12 hours of uninterrupted light.Well Draining and Fertile Soil: Although sweet basil could be grown in less than ideal soils, you'll find that maximum growth and plant health will be achieved in fertile soils. Not only does the ideal soil contain a wealth of composted organics, but it will also provide plenty of drainage. For basil that will be planted in the ground, prepare garden beds a month in advance by working compost into the topsoil. Container basil plants will thrive with high-quality organic potting soil that is amended with perlite for drainage.You will receive a minimum of 25 seeds in the packet.
