Basil is one of the most popular herbs for growing. It is however, one of the fussiest about cool nighttime temperatures and wet weather.


The trick with basil is to keep it warm.


Start basil seeds in March or April, providing plenty of warmth. Protect your baby basil plants from cool nights (under 8 degrees Celsius).


A few variety highlights:


Dolly: genovese type, more tolerant of cool temperatures


Genovese: best for pesto


Sweet Basil: Large leaf type, great for tomato sauces and pesto


Culinary Blend: A mix of Genovese, Corsican, Lemon & Lime Basil


Red Rubin: Compact plant, spicy flavour


Get more details on each variety by checking the associated brand's website....or call us at 250-967-4325 for specific recommendations to meet your needs.
