Germination Guide
Start seeds indoors several weeks before the last expected frost or sow directly outdoors once nighttime temperatures remain consistently warm.

Provide plenty of sunlight after seedlings emerge for healthy growth.
Plant Care Tips
Thai Basil thrives in warm weather with regular watering and full sun. Harvest young leaves frequently to encourage continuous growth. Pinch off flower buds as they appear to promote bushier plants and maintain the best leaf flavor throughout the growing season.
Harvest Information
Begin harvesting once plants have developed several sets of true leaves. Pick individual leaves or trim stem tips regularly to encourage branching and abundant new growth. Fresh leaves offer the strongest flavor and aroma but can also be preserved for later use.
