Greek Basil 'Spicy Bush'

Spicy Bush likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Spicy Bush is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Spicy Bush needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.12 inches (0.3 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 10°C / 50°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Spicy Bush about 20 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Spicy Bush is a tender plant.
