    Basil: maintenance tips

    An easy-to-grow herb, basil grows well in pots or in the ground. Its bright green leaves are appreciated for their strong flavour.

    Maintenance tips: BasilMaintenance tips: Basil

    Common name: Basil

    Exposure

    Prefers full sun exposure.

    Watering

    Water regularly. Does not tolerate excess water or drought.

    Planting

    Sensitive to cold, plant it when all danger of frost has passed in well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Prefers to be sheltered from the wind.

    Fertilization

    During the summer, fertilize once a month with an all-purpose liquid or water-soluble fertilizer.

    Harvest

    Harvest young shoots as needed. To avoid early dieback, leave a minimum of 4 to 5 rows of leaves per stem. Handle foliage with care, as bruised leaves easily turn black.

    Availability may vary by store.
