Sowing notes
Start seed indoors in trays or pots about 4–6 weeks before planting out, or direct sow once all danger of frost has passed and the weather has warmed. Basil loves heat and performs best once the soil is warm. Pinching young plants will help encourage fuller, bushier growth.

Harvest information
Harvest when stems are long and strong, before the flowers become too mature. Regular cutting encourages more branching and more usable stems through the season. Expect a vase life of about 7–10 days.
