About Sweet Basil
Sweet Basil is a fragrant and flavorful herb used in a variety of culinary dishes. Its aromatic leaves are perfect for making pesto, enhancing sauces, and garnishing salads. Easy to grow, basil thrives in sunny, warm conditions, making it a favorite for herb gardeners.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Full sun.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0.
- Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C).
- Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering.
Planting & Care Instructions
- Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly outdoors once the weather has warmed.
- Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for optimal air circulation and growth.
- Prune regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent flowering, which can reduce the flavor of the leaves.
