Growing Information
Thai Basil grows best in well-draining, fertile soil with moderate watering to keep the soil slightly moist. It requires full sun exposure, ideally 6-8 hours daily, to flourish. This bushy, upright herb matures in 60-70 days and performs well in containers, raised beds, or traditional garden settings. Its heat tolerance makes it ideal for warm climates, and its slow-bolting nature ensures a steady supply of fresh leaves throughout the growing season.
