Thai Basil Seeds For Growing Herbs
Thai basil is a popular culinary herb that is mostly used in Asian cuisine. Thai basil offers a hint of liquorice without being too overpowering. This herb is often added to sauces where its flavour quickly infuses itself. When cooked, thai basil leaves don’t wilt as much as sweet basil does.
Expect Thai basil to grow up to 50cm in height. It can either be grown in the ground or in containers to suit your needs. It’s best to plant Thai basil in the spring and summer months, and the expected germination time is between 5-10 days. Plant in full sunlight and moist, well-drained soil for best results.
