Product Details
Little Growers Basil Sweet Green Seeds will give you an essential kitchen herb. It's funky, fragrant and fantastic. This sweet green basil is fast growing and extremely fragrant. Its leaves can be added to salads, soups, Italian cooking and much more.
You could even try them with strawberries! Or simply chop up and add as the finishing touch to a homemade pizza. A taste of Italy straight from your garden!
Harvest: April to October
Sowing Indoors
Seeds can be sown at any time of year, but the optimum time is between February and July. Sow in 8cm pots of firm, pre-watered compost, covering with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite. Cover with cling film and keep around 15°C. When the seedlings emerge, remove the cling film and keep on a sunny windowsill. Water regularly to keep the compost damp, but not wet.
Planting Out
Plants can be moved outside in late spring and summer, acclimatising them gradually.
Aftercare
Harvest the tips regularly and remove any flowers as you see them. Avoid leaving plants wet overnight- morning watering is ideal.
