Planting Instructions:
• Days to Maturity: 60–90 days
• Planting Depth: 1/4 inch
• Plant Spacing: 12–18 inches apart
• Days to Germination: 5–10 days
• Sun/Shade Requirements: Full sun is best, but partial shade is tolerated in hot climates.
• Indoor/Outdoor Planting: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost for an early start, or sow directly outdoors once the soil temperature is consistently above 70°F (21°C).
How to Plant Sweet Basil:
1. Starting Indoors: Use a seed starting mix in small pots or seed trays. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and lightly cover with soil. Keep the soil moist and warm, around 70–75°F (21–24°C), for best germination.
2. Direct Sowing: Wait until after the last frost and the soil has warmed. Prepare well-draining, nutrient-rich soil in a sunny location. Scatter seeds thinly, cover lightly with soil, and water gently.
3. Transplanting: When seedlings have 2–3 sets of true leaves and outdoor temperatures are stable, harden them off before planting in the garden or containers, spaced 12–18 inches apart.
Growing Tips:
• Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
• Pinch off flower buds to encourage leafy growth.
• Harvest leaves frequently by snipping just above a leaf node to stimulate new growth.
