About Sweet Basil Seeds

Bring the fresh, aromatic flavor of basil to your kitchen or garden with premium sweet basil seeds. A staple herb in Mediterranean and Asian cuisine, sweet basil is easy to grow and highly rewarding—ideal for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

Planting Instructions:

  • Best planting season: Spring through early summer

  • Light requirements: Full sun (6+ hours of sunlight daily)

  • Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.5

  • Sowing method:

    1. Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost or direct sow outdoors once the soil warms.

    2. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep, spaced 10–12 inches apart.

    3. Keep soil evenly moist until germination.

    4. Thin seedlings to promote airflow and strong growth.

  • Germination time: 5–10 days

  • Harvest time: 60–75 days

Planting Guide

Sow Sweet Basil in spring at about 1/4 in. deep. Keep the seed starting mix lightly moist until germination, usually 5-10 days.

Grow in full sun and thin seedlings once they are large enough to handle.

Begin light harvest around 60-75 days when plants are established, cutting modestly so they can continue growing.

GOOD

They arrived well packaged and look good, and I’m looking forward to planting them and seeing how they grow. It would be even better if a simple planting or growing guide could be included with the seeds, especially for beginners. Overall, a good purchase so far!

Fresh and Fragrant!

These basil seeds sprouted fast and smell amazing. I use the fresh leaves in pasta and salads—so much better than store-bought!
