Growing tips

Basil is very sensitive to the cold. The heat-loving plant needs plenty of water in summer. It can be grown from seed 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 be overwintered indoors during the winter months.
