Thai Basil (Holy Trinity) (50+ Seeds)

Description

Grow Basil in the Georgia Garden for most of the year! Basil is not frost tolerant, so it can be grown anytime there isn’t a threat of freezing temperatures. We recommend growing Basil throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall. If you live in South or Coastal Georgia, depending on how early the first freeze comes, Basil’s growing Season may stretch well into the Early Winter.

Thai Basil combines the fragrance and flavor of Basil and Anise (Liquorish)! A staple in Thai and East Asian Cooking, this exotic basil is a rarity in the West. Impossible to find in the grocery store, you’ll keep growing Thai basil year after year. It’s one-of-a-kind flavor is addictive.  Fun Fact: Thai Basil has a higher cooking temperature than other basil varieties.

Basil prefers temperatures that remain above 50 degrees. It is not frost tolerant and lower temperatures will slow the plant’s growth.

Expect plants to reach a height of 12″ to 24″. Prune flowers and buds from the plant to maximize flavor and leaf production!
