How to Grow Organic Basil Classic Italian

Sow seeds indoors from March to June into trays or pots using fine seed compost. Sow thinly and cover lightly with compost.

Keep at a temperature of 18–22°C for germination, which usually takes 7–14 days.

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into individual pots and grow on in a warm, bright position.

Plant outdoors after all risk of frost has passed in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Basil also grows exceptionally well indoors on a sunny windowsill.

Harvest leaves regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent flowering.
