They all grow easily in warm, sunny weather as tender annuals. The leaves are commonly used in cooking, but the flower buds are also edible.

Indoors

Start basil seedlings indoors 6-8 weeks before last spring frost. Soil temperature should be between 65-70 degrees F.
Plant 1/2 inch deep in small peat pots.
Basil plants can be grown in containers for their full life cycle or kept indoors. Or you can transplant outdoors once there are at least two sets of true leaves.
Outdoors

Basil can be planted directly into garden once all danger of frost has passed and soil has reached a temperature of 70 degrees F.
Space basil 10 to 12 inches apart in light, well-drained soil that gets full sun.
Space rows about 24 inches apart since plants can grow to 12-15 inches wide.
