Easy to grow, enjoyable to consume
The high-quality purple basil seeds from the Urban Garden series germinate perfectly in a warm and bright environment. For best results, sow the seeds in a greenhouse or indoor pots from early spring (February) to May. Transplant the young plants outdoors or onto a balcony only in June, once the risk of night frost has completely passed, maintaining a planting distance of 15×15 cm to ensure adequate air circulation.
Enjoy the young, juicy, and colorful leaves directly in fresh salads, or dry them for later use in exciting tea blends and winter spice jars!
