4” starter plant for outdoor use in your garden. Greenery in bouquet. LIGHT PREFERENCE: Sun. PLANT HEIGHT: 20-24”. SOIL REQUIREMENTS: Moderately rich, moist soil. Basil is not drought tolerant and can be damaged by heat stress. Regular moisture throughout the growing season helps to ensure a good crop. PLANT SPACING: 4-8". HARDINESS ZONES: Annual. HARVEST: Begin light harvesting after plants have become established. It is best done in the early morning when the temperature is cooler and the leaves are less likely to wilt. A full harvest should be completed just before the plants start to flower. Cut the entire plant 4-6" above the ground to promote a second growth. Leaves are easily bruised when picking, so handle carefully. Do not store at a temperature less than 10°C. USES: Greenery in bouquet. Edible leaves & flowers: Use the leaves in any recipe that calls for basil, or to garnish drinks, salads, soups, pasta, and desserts. Flavor is of intense basil and citrus.
