Thai Holy Basil adds a wonderful aniseed flavour to food. Good in salads or added at the last minute of cooking to add that definitive Thai flavour.

Sow indoors into a tray filled with seed compost, keep at 18-20 degrees and keep moist. After germination (which takes 8-10 days) water sparingly.  Transplant each seedling into a small pot and grow on for 4 weeks. Then either transplant it to a bigger pot or into the garden (but only if all risk of frost has passed).

  • Seed Quantity 100 Seeds
  • Type Edible Herb
  • Genus Ocimum Sanctum
  • Sow Seeds Sow seeds 0.5cm deep into small trays of seed compost, and cover them with a sprinkling of seed compost/vermiculite.  Keep at a temperature of 15-25℃.  Alternatively, sow outside from late May to early July.  Prick out seedlings into individual pots when large enough.  Do not overwater. Basil hates sitting in wet compost
  •  Plant Out When all risk of frost has passed. Basil does not like wet soil. 
  • Flowers All Year Round
  • Height & Spread 20cm high x 20cm spread
