Basil Genovese Ocimum basilicum 700 Seeds For Planting

Gardeners with short growing seasons may want to start their Genovese basil seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost date, sowing them thinly in flats and providing heat to speed germination. Transplant 15-18" apart. To direct sow, plant the seeds 1/4" deep in rich soil and full sun, thinning to 15-18" apart when the seedlings develop.
