Sowing and care

Fill a clean tray or small pot with a fine, free-draining seed mix. Sow thinly, cover lightly and moisten with a gentle spray. Keep the mix evenly moist but avoid standing water. Give emerging seedlings plenty of light, and thin or transplant crowded seedlings once they are strong enough to handle. Provide space between established plants for airflow. Water at the soil surface and check pots more often during hot, dry weather. Pinch back growing tips after establishment to encourage a branched shape, and remove flower stems when growing mainly for leaves.

Growing notes

Purple foliage can vary in appearance with plant development and growing conditions. Label this sowing separately from other basil varieties, especially when starting several trays together. Choose planting dates according to your local warm growing season.
