Thai Basil 'Thai Sweet'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Thai Sweet is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so although it can survive a small mild cold snap, it is wise to ensure that this plant is protected from frost damage. Thai Sweet needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Sow 0.12 inches (0.3 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 0.5 inches (1.27 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 10°C / 50°F.

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

Thai Sweet is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
