Organic Thai Basil Seeds - Ocimum basilicum

$3.50

In stock at livingseedcompany.com

Organic Thai basil seeds grow the licorice-scented basil used in pad krapow, green curry and noodle soups. The plants are compact at 10 to 12 inches, handle heat better than many basils and keep producing when pinched back. Each packet holds about 200 certified organic seeds, enough for several succession sowings.
