Growing Basil: Essential Tips for a Bountiful Harvest

This fragrant annual thrives in warm weather, typically reaching 1½ to 2 feet tall. Beyond the classic large green-leaved varieties, you'll find purple basils and dwarf or small-leafed types. Start from seed indoors in early spring, or sow directly in garden beds once the soil has warmed. Thin seedlings or transplant starts to stand 1 to 2 feet apart. Regularly pinch off tips and flower buds to prolong leaf production.
