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.

    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.

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.
