Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is needed. Basil seeds are ready to plant directly from the packet.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperature is at least 70°F (21°C).
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting trays or pots filled with a well-draining seed-starting mix.
Space seeds 10-12 inches apart if planting directly in the garden.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 5-10 days under optimal conditions.
Maintain a consistent temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date and when they have at least 2-3 sets of true leaves.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
Space transplants 10-12 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering. Water at the base of the plants to keep the foliage dry and prevent fungal diseases.
Mulching: Apply mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Pruning: Regularly pinch back the growing tips to encourage bushy growth and prevent the plant from flowering too early.
