As Basil loves warm soil and warm temperatures, it will languish if temperatures are below 15°C (60°F). Sow seed directly outdoors in a sunny site with average soil in late May and June. Plant seed 4 mm (3\/16\") deep and 6 mm (1\/4\") apart. Thin to 20-25 cm (8-10\") apart in the garden. Seed can also be started indoors in a soil-less mix 4-6 weeks before last frost date. Keep temperature at 21°C (70°F) for the 7-10 day germination period, then grow on at the same temperature before hardening off and transplanting outside after the danger of all frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApprox. 250 seeds\/pkt.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ontario Seed Company Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40042044031039,"sku":"374345","price":2.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2701\/4734\/products\/3142_basil_blue_bush_spice.jpg?v=1680281147","url":"https:\/\/wildwood.express\/products\/ontario-seed-company-ltd-osc-basil-blue-spice-374345","provider":"Wildwood Outdoor Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
