Sweet Basil Seeds (Ocimum basilicum) – 250+ Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds for Planting, Classic Aroma & Flavor for Pesto, Sauces & Salads, by Isla’s Garden Seeds, Gift Idea for Gardeners
Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is the quintessential garden basil—fragrant, tender, and richly flavored. Glossy green leaves deliver the classic sweet-savory notes perfect for pesto, caprese, sauces, and fresh garnishes straight from the garden.
A warm-season favorite, plants grow vigorously to 18–24 inches with dense branching and generous foliage. Regular harvesting encourages new growth for a steady supply of tender leaves from early summer to frost in beds, raised planters, or containers.
Pinch flower buds to keep plants leafy and aromatic. Harvest in the morning for peak essential oils, and use fresh or dry gently for pantry-ready herbs. Leaves pair beautifully with tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and citrus.
Reliable, productive, and intensely aromatic, Sweet Basil is a kitchen essential and a must-grow for vibrant, fresh cuisine all season long.

🌱Planting Instructions
Approx seeds per order 250
Sow indoors 4–6 weeks before last frost or direct sow after nights stay reliably above 50°F and soil is warm. Choose a sunny, well-draining site enriched with compost. Basil thrives with heat, light, and even moisture.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and space 10–12 inches apart in rows 12–18 inches. Keep soil evenly moist during establishment, then water regularly at the base. Mulch to hold moisture and reduce surface drying.
Begin harvesting when plants are 6–8 inches tall by pinching stems above a leaf pair to encourage branching. Remove flower spikes promptly to prolong leafy growth and maximize flavor throughout the season.
