  • The classic large-leafed Mediterranean variety, Sweet Basil, the primary culinary basil, is grown as an herb. Redolent of licorice and cloves, the succulent leaves are ideal for tomato sauces, pesto, and salads. It can be dried or chopped, covered in olive oil, and frozen in ice cube trays for later use.
  • When pinched back regularly, this robust annual grows as a densely branched plant, perfect for containers. It can also be grown as sprouts.
  • It prefers full hot summer sun and moderately rich, well-drained soil. But it should be kept well watered. Open pollinated, it produces seed that will grow true to type, ideal for seed saving.
  • The plants can be started indoors 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting into warm soil when temperatures are consistently above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Succession plantings every 2 to 3 weeks is recommended for continual harvest.
  • If you plan to start your seeds indoors, be sure to check out our Bio Dome Seed Starter Kit. With the Bio Dome, you can control the temperature, light, and soil mix to ensure your seeds become strong for transplant.

It's going to be another beautiful spring in your garden! We are delighted to celebrate 150 years of gardening friendship with you! "Your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money." The motto of our founder, George W. Park, has been the inspiration for Park Seed Company ever since its 1868 founding at the kitchen table of a 15-year-old boy who hoped to sell seeds from his own garden for a little pocket money. Mr. Park considered gardening a spiritual delight as well as a useful and pleasant activity. In early catalogs, he encouraged gardeners to form clubs and swap seeds, even printing nature poetry they had written. His catalogs united gardeners in remote rural areas, and by 1918, Park Seed Company had 180,000 customers. Today our gardeners number in the millions, yet we still adhere to Mr. Park's original motto. We may be connecting online through social media rather than handwritten letters, but the spirit and the result is the same: bringing the joys of gardening to as many people as possible.
