Basil - Thai
SKU
409RV9C
(Annual)
Exotic and easy to grow, Thai Basil is a key ingredient in Southeast Asian cuisine. Unlike Sweet Basil it has sturdy resilient leaves that makes it well suited for infusing flavour into broths, soups and curries. Narrow, bright green leaves that have serrated edges that are typically smaller than other Basils and spikes of dark violet flowers on the end of purple stems.
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.
