Culture Notes Prefers average garden soil, planted in the full sun. It is recommended to sow seed in doors in a container since the Basil plant is very tender. Trim off flower heads before they set seed, this will result in a bushier plant. Harvest periodically to maintain shape of plant. Basil is a better container plant than it is in the garden. Purple leaved varieties are attractive in borders or container plantings.
