Sowing Tips
Soil Temperature
Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 60°F for reliable germination and early growth.
Expert Note
Start basil warm indoors and transplant only after nights are consistently mild, since this cultivar’s later flowering means it benefits from a longer warm-season head start.
