Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required for Blue Spice Basil seeds.

Sowing:

Plant seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and 6-8 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 5-10 days under optimal conditions.
Maintain consistent moisture during the germination period by lightly misting the soil.

Transplanting:

If starting seeds indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date, once they have developed at least two sets of true leaves.
Space transplants 12-18 inches apart in the garden.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging, as basil is susceptible to root rot.
Pruning: Pinch off the tips of the stems regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent flowering, which can cause the leaves to become bitter.
Harvesting: Harvest basil leaves regularly by pinching off the stems just above a pair of leaves. This encourages continued growth and prevents the plant from becoming woody.
