Basil 'Large Green'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Large Green is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected when the temperature dips. Large Green requires a loamy, sandy and silty soil with a ph of 5.5 - 7.0 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Ensure a distance of 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 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 Large Green about 20 days before your last frost date.

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