A fragrant basil variety with an anise-like aroma that works beautifully in Thai curries, stir-fries, noodle bowls, and fresh garnishes.
Thai basil brings a more aromatic, slightly spicy flavor than common sweet basil. It is especially useful for Thai and Vietnamese cooking, where the leaves hold their fragrance well in warm dishes. In an indoor garden, regular trimming keeps the plant bushier and helps prevent flowering too early.
Seeds germinate and the first herb leaves unfold.
