Planting Instructions
Basil thrives in warm, sunny locations. Plant seeds or transplants in well-drained soil after the last frost date. Ensure the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth. Basil prefers temperatures above 50°F and benefits from regular harvesting to promote bushy growth.
