Bush Basil – Small-Leaved Basil Seeds

Small-leaved bush basil (Ocimum basilicum minimum) is a compact and highly aromatic basil variety that is ideal for pots, containers, balconies, windowsills and herb gardens. This variety is a good choice when you are looking for basil seeds for small spaces or decorative home growing.

The small, densely growing leaves make bush basil both beautiful and practical as a kitchen herb. The leaves can be used fresh in salads, pasta dishes, pizzas, tomato-based recipes and as a finishing touch for meals. Its compact growth habit makes this variety especially suitable for growing in pots.

Sow the seeds from May to July directly in a pot, container or outdoors in a warm growing location. You can also start the seedlings indoors and move them outside after about four weeks, once the weather is warm enough. Basil grows best in a bright, warm and sheltered place.
