Country of origin: United States. The supplier identifies this product as American-grown.

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. No stratification is required for these varieties.

Keep unused seeds dry and cool in a clearly labeled, closed container. Protect the packet from humidity and temperature swings, and retain the variety name and sowing notes for your next planting. Use the species-specific directions below when deciding whether to start indoors, sow directly, soak seeds, or provide a cold period. Germination and growth vary with seed handling and local growing conditions.

For general seed-starting and storage guidance, see University of Minnesota Extension’s seed-starting guide. Use the variety-specific packet directions for this product.
