Basil, Holy 
ocimum sanctum
Our new favorite. A gourmet basil with a light musky scent that has a hint of mint and cloves. It makes the most wonderful tasting herbal tea. Full of B vitamins. Known for centuries in Indian culture as an anti-inflamatory and anti-oxidant, also claimed to promote healing of viral infections. It is a sacred herb in the Hindu religion. Growing Tips Cut back often and pinch off flowers in summer to promote a bushier growth habit.
Sowing Information Sow seed directly into fine garden soil or start indoors then transplant in spring when all danger of frost has passed. Spread seed on warm soil and cover with 1/8-1/4 inch fine soil. Seeds will germinate in 5-10 days. Once plants are two to three inches tall, thin to space plants 4-8 inches apart. 65-75 days to maturity.
