Herb Basil Spicy Globe 3.5" Pot

Basil is a warm-weather, fragrant herb that tastes great in many dishes—including the beloved homemade pesto! Plant seeds or transplants after all danger of frost has passed and soil is warm, and it will yield an abundant harvest within weeks. Keep harvesting the leaves to keep the plant going strong.

Watering: Make sure that the soil is moist. Basil plants like moisture. During the dry periods in summer, water the plants freely.

Harvesting Tips: Start picking the leaves of basil as soon as the plants are 6 to 8 inches tall. Harvest in the early morning, when leaves are at their juiciest. Make sure to pick the leaves regularly to encourage growth throughout the summer.
