Introducing Basil, Siam Queen (Thai), an award-winning variety with vibrant green leaves and a unique licorice-basil aroma. Growing to 18-36 inches tall, its striking flavor profile, featuring anise and clove notes, brings an exciting twist to Thai cuisine, salads, and teas.  The beautiful purple flowers are also edible and make a lovely addition to your dishes and drinks.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not soggy and provide them with plenty of bright, indirect light. After the last frost, transplant seedlings outdoors, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in full sun. Basil prefers well-draining soil and regular watering.
