Organic Basil Seeds - USDA Large Leaf Sweet Basil (300 Seeds)

Amish Country Organics, by Rohrer Seeds About- While similar to its cousin, Genovese Basil, Italian Large Leaf Basil boasts a slightly less clove-like taste. This variety is sweet, with large, robust leaves making it a great choice for use in the kitchen.  When and Where to Plant- Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost, and transplant out when evening temps are above 45 degrees. Start seeds outdoors in late Spring when the soil temperature has warmed. Choose a warm, full sun location with rich, well-draining soil. Care and Harvest- Basil does not need much, if any, fertilization. Be sure to keep the soil damp, but not soggy. You can start to harvest from your Basil plant when it is 6-8" tall. Harvest frequently to encourage more growth.  Planting Depth- 1/4" Days to Germination- 7-10 Seed Spacing- 1" Plant Spacing- 12" Spacing Between Rows- 12" Days to Maturity- 60-90 Approximate Seeds per Pkt- 300
