SOWING: Start seeds indoors in flats or peat pots, or sow directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed and weather has warmed. Cover seed with 1/8 inch fine soil.
SPACING: Leave about 12 to 18 inches apart in rows or use in group plantings
THINNING AND TRANSPLANTING: Thin or transplant seedlings 8 to 10 inches apart when 2 to 3 inches tall, outdoors, after danger of frost has passed and weather has warmed.
GERMINATION: 1 to 2 weeks depending upon soil and weather conditions. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
Ed’s Special Advice: Siam Queen can be grown in the landscape, or on the patio in containers, alone or alongside other herbs. Don’t plant Basil outside too early if the weather is cold and wet. It grows best in a sunny location in fairly rich, somewhat moist, well-drained soil. Use leaves sparingly at first, more heavily as plants grow, pinching back shoots to encourage bushiness and discourage flowering. New shoots can be harvested for several months depending upon climate and growing conditions.
