PLANTING

Ocimum africanum

Annual

Germination:  5-10 days

Germination Temperature: Optimum soil temperatures 65-70ºF

Seed Planting Depth:  Sow on the surface and lightly cover

Starting Indoors:  Start indoors 4-8 weeks before the last frost. Provide 65-70ºF soil temperatures. Transplant after the last frost, 8-12" apart. 

Sowing Outdoors:  After the last frost, sow a few seeds every 2-4”. Thin to the strongest seedling, 8-12" apart. Sow heavily seeded rows and use the baby greens earlier in the season. Sow again in mid-summer for later harvests.

Growth Habit: Upright, branching

Height and Width: 12-18” x 12-16”  

Spacing:  8-12” apart   

Light Needs: Full sun 

Soil Needs: Holy Basil needs fertile, moist, well-drained soil 

Harvest: Start when the plants are 6-8”, picking leaves as needed. Harvest often to keep the plant producing new leaves. Freeze or dry to preserve 

Uses: Culinary and medicinal, containers, flowers attract pollinators and beneficials

Care: Holy Basil needs fertile soil, amend with compost and/or add organic fertilizer. Basil does not like to dry out, keep well watered for optimum growth, mulching will help retain moisture. 

Tips: Pinch seedlings back to encourage branching and increase leaf production. Pinching off the flowers helps the plant continue producing leaves. We like to pinch off flowers on some plants and leave flowers on others for the pollinators. Flowers are also nice in mixed bouquets. Try growing basil indoors on the windowsill or under grow lights. Growing basil as a micro green is an easy way to enjoy fresh basil during the winter months.

Great lightweight summer blanket
Color: White, Size: Queen
Love this waffle blanket. Soft, cool when used alone, warm used with another blanket. Good size. Purchased queen size and it's very generously sized. Only con is white is off white, but it works. I would buy this blanket again!

Nice, lightweight blanket for cool rooms. Probably a bit light for a COLD room.
Color: Dark Grey, Size: Queen
This is a nice soft lightweight blanket. The only problem I have is they don't come in a "standard" mattress size, so you order something that may (does in my case) touch the floor. I'd have said they drag the floor, but that only happens when you move the bed around the room with the blanket in place. An unhandy way to clean the floor, so I don't recommend it.

Summer perfect! Soft and light
Color: White, Size: Twin
I bought 3. As soon as I opened the bag there was an odor to them. They didn’t feel like made with natural products. I washed them & when they came out of the dryer they smelled good & are so soft. I will order other colors.

Impossible to keep clean
Color: White, Size: Queen, Color: White, Size: Queen
Great blanket. How TF are you supposed to keep it clean? They provide garment bag, but my zipper broke before I could even use it. I had one of these before and my ex lost the bag, so I had no idea it even came with one. These rip and get burned in the dryer. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY
