Thompson and Morgan Herb Basil Devotion Seeds

Grow a sensational kitchen garden with the Thompson and Morgan Herb Basil Devotion Seeds. These deliver compact plants with sweet, spicy-scented leaves and impressive mildew resistance, making them perfect for pots, raised beds or allotments, so you'll enjoy reliable harvests in any setting. Sow basil seeds from February to June on the surface of free-draining seed compost, then lightly cover with compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 15 to 25°C (59 to 77°F), or seal the container in a polythene bag until germination, which typically takes 14 to 21 days. Keep the compost slightly dry and water sparingly as seedlings emerge. Once large enough to handle, transplant into 7.5cm pots and grow on in cooler conditions.
