Its compact, rounded shape also adds visual interest to your garden or patio.
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 or into larger containers, spacing them 6-8 inches apart in full sun. Basil prefers well-draining soil and regular watering.
