Certified Organic

Also known as Tulsi, this herb is commonly grown in Southeast Asia and is valued in Ayurvedic medicine due to its host of therapeutic and nutritional qualities. From the seeds to leaves to flowers, all parts of the plant are useful. Immune support and helping with stress and anxiety are just two of its many healthful attributes. All in all, holy basil is considered a tonic for the body, mind and spirit; much needed in our times! This strain, developed by Frank Morton, is suited to our temperate conditions in North America. As a bonus, it is a huge attractant for beneficial insects!

Start indoors mid-April to mid-May; seed 1/2 cm deep. Transplant out or direct seed in full sun when the soil is warm. Also does great in containers in a warm and sunny spot.
