Basil 'Sweet Bicolour'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Sweet Bicolour is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so it will require protection in frosts and low temperatures. Sweet Bicolour needs a loamy, sandy and silty soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.0 (weakly acidic soil to neutral soil).

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.12 inches (0.3 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) between Basil plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 10°C / 50°F.

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

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