🌱 Growing instructions

• Start basil seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors after the last frost in well-drained soil. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and space plants 12-18 inches apart in a location with full sun. Basil prefers consistently moist soil and warm temperatures. Pinch off flower buds as they appear to encourage bushy growth and prolong the harvest.
