A native of South East Asia, the purple leaves look very attractive in pots, both outdoors and on the windowsill.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSow and grow indoors for all year round crops. Sow 0.5cm (¼\") deep, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. For earlier outdoor crops, sow indoors March-May. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out into warm, well-drained soil, 20cm (8\") apart, during May-July. Alternatively, plants can be grown on a light windowsill. Or sow outdoors March-May for ease, where they are to crop, 0.5cm (¼\") deep, directly into finely prepared soil, which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 20cm (8\") apart. For a continuous supply, make sowings at two to three week intervals. Harvest: Leaves are best picked immediately before use (outdoor crops from June).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bosworths Garden Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53372869706064,"sku":"281552","price":2.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/3368\/3792\/files\/47266_BASIL_20Thai.jpg?v=1786097956","url":"https:\/\/www.bosworthsgc.co.uk\/products\/mr-fothergills-basil-thai","provider":"Bosworths Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
