Basil 'Balcony Blend'

Balcony Blend likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Balcony Blend is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips. Balcony Blend 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.

Look to ensure a distance 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.12 inches (0.3 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 10°C / 50°F to ensure good germination.

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

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