A very fine leaved variety with traditional strong basil flavour makes a beautiful little pot plant. Growes to about 45cm tall.
WHEN TO SOW
March to May.
WHERE TO SOW
Sow the seeds thinly in pots or trays of good compost under glass at 15ƒC, or direct in the growing site from mid-May.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
As soon as large enough to handle, prick off the seedlings into trays or pots, 5cm apart. Gradually, harden off before planting out in late May, 20-30cm apart. Thin outdoor seedlings to the same spacings.

Leaves should be ready from July onwards.
HANDY TIP
