Herb Basil Genovese

Description

Growing Instructions

Sow seeds indoors all year round, or directly outdoors after the last frost.

Plant seeds 0.5 cm deep in well-drained soil.

Keep soil consistently moist until germination, ideally at 15-25c.

If sown indoors, transplant seedlings to sunny, sheltered positions.

Grow in pots or garden beds.

Pinch out growing tips regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent flowering.

Harvest leaves as needed, taking care not to remove more than one-third of the plant at a time.

Water regularly to help prevent bolting.

Protect from strong winds and cold temperatures, as basil is frost-sensitive.
