The listing, Thai Basil – 40+ seeds! has ended.

Winner will receive over 40 seeds, harvested locally. If you’ve never had a Thai Basil experience, both you and all of your senses are in for a treat!

Thai Basil is a beautiful form of basil that grows about 2 1/2 feet high and around. The scent and taste are different from sweet basil with more licorice flavor. Thai basil is used in all types of Thai cooking as well as other Asian and middle eastern cultures. It has large flowers that form in a cluster as opposed to the long spikes on the other basils. Certainly one of the most beautiful and delicious basil varieties!

Thai Basil can grow in areas that get about 4-5 hours of sun per day. This basil is annual like sweet basil so the flowers must be removed occasionally to keep leaf production going. This is a vigorous growing basil and the plants get very large so give it lots of room.

To harvest, cut about a third of the branch from the top, down to where a new set of leaves is beginning to grow.

For cooking, chop the leaves and add to curry or Thai recipes. Try it in other types of cooking too!

Lucky me, a neighbor let me ‘prune’ her abundant happy thai basil plants, so now I get to share the seeds!

Happy Bidding! :D
