Cultivation Tips for Basil ‘Small-leaved’

Basil is a heat-loving plant that thrives in warm, sunny conditions. Sow seeds at 20°C from March to July in a terrine or seed tray. Transplant the seedlings once into a pot and then after the last frost, plant them 25 cm apart in well-draining, fertile soil in full sun. In cooler regions, it’s advisable to grow basil in pots so you can easily move it to a sunny location. Protect the plants from slugs and excess moisture to promote healthy growth.
