Basil 'Magic Mountain'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Magic Mountain is thought of as half hardy, so it will require protection in frosts and low temperatures. Ideally plant in loamy, sandy and silty soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 7.0 as Magic Mountain likes to be in 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. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 10°C / 50°F to ensure good germination.

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

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Magic Mountain is a half hardy plant.
