Basil is an annual plant from the labiates family that grows outdoors. Essential oils provide the intense fragrance, which makes basil a popular culinary and medicinal plant. In addition to the well-known large-leaved genover varieties, there are also small-leaved species and the hardier and perennial bush basil, as well as a total of about 65 other varieties.
Origin:
Tropical India, Mediterranean for centuries
Basil is very sensitive to cold. Heat-hungry plant needs a lot of water in the summer. Growing from seed is done from the end of March. The seeds should not be covered with soil, as it is a light germinator. When growing perennial varieties basil must overwinter indoors during the winter months.
