Basil - Thai
SKU
409RV9C
(Annual)
EXOTIC, AROMATIC, and very easy to grow, this is a key ingredient in Southeast Asian cooking. Its distinct anise-like flavour and robust nature make it perfect for stir-fries and curries.
Planting
Plant in well-drained soil, or in a pot, in full sun on your windowsill, or in a sunny, sheltered position in your garden.
Care
Keep well watered until established, and in dry weather, take care not to over water. Protect from frost, slugs and snails.
Height & Spread:
40 – 50cm × 30 – 40cm.
Harvesting
Use scissors or fingertips to pinch off leaves as required. Harvest in the morning, when the essential oils are most concentrated, and avoid taking more than one-third of the leaves at a time.
