Basil belongs to the labiate family and offers a wide range of varieties, which can often differ significantly in taste. The aroma varies from fresh, lemony, tart, aniseed-like to cinnamon-like.
Presumably, the wild-forms originate from tropical areas of India and Africa. The plant also loves warm, sunny and windless locations.

This seed set contains 3 Asian basil varieties with exotic aroma typical for Asian and Indian cuisine:

Thai basil (Ocimum basilicum)
A type of basil that smells of anise and tastes slightly tangier and spicier. Very typical aroma in Thai noodle soups
Tulsi / Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum / tenuiflorum)
The leaves are used to make a healing tea, which is used especially for all weaknesses in the digestive tract, to protect the immune system, against stress, for internal heat treatment and to lower cholesterol levels.
Lemon basil (Ocimum americanum)
Asian basil variety with lemony aroma.

The seeds of each variety are packaged in a separate sachet.

Seeding & Care:
Pre-culture from mid-March indoors or directly outdoors from mid-May. Basil is a light germinator. The seeds should therefore only be sprinkled on the damp soil and pressed on slightly. Be careful, because snails also love this great herb.
