nfuse your garden with aromatic bliss using Richgrow Seeds Basil Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Ocimum basilicum), perfect for home gardeners and farmers seeking fragrant, versatile harvests at an unbeatable price! Known as Sweet Basil or Tulsi, this variety produces lush, green, oval leaves with a sweet, peppery flavor and a distinct, clove-like aroma, ideal for pesto, salads, pasta, teas, or as a garnish, ready to harvest in 40–60 days. Packed with vitamins A, C, K, and antioxidants like eugenol, basil supports immunity, reduces inflammation, and promotes heart health, while its essential oils repel pests naturally. The bushy, upright plants, growing 30–60 cm tall, are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as Fusarium wilt, thriving in warm climates, with optimal sowing in spring to early summer (March–June) across Pan-India, particularly in states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.5 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% coco peat, pH 6.0–7.5) under full sun (6–8 hours daily), spacing 15–20 cm apart in rows 30 cm wide; achieve 85% germination within 5–10 days at 20–30°C. Keep soil moist with light watering (0.5 liters per plant every 2–3 days), pinch tips to encourage bushiness, and fertilize with organic compost or fish emulsion every 2–3 weeks; use neem oil for pests like whiteflies. Harvest leaves when 5–7 cm long, cutting above a leaf pair to promote regrowth, and dry or freeze for long-term use, with excellent shelf life for fresh or dried leaves. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (200–250 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white).
