Purple Krishna Tulsi Holy Basil Seeds

These are excellent for container gardening. Because they reach a mature height and spread of 24 to 36 inches, ensure you use a pot that is at least 12 inches deep and wide to give the roots enough space to thrive.

Yes, but you will need to treat it as an annual. Since it thrives in warm climates and is hardy only in zones 10-11, you should plant it in the spring after the danger of frost has passed and expect it to die back when temperatures drop in the fall.

You can expect to start harvesting leaves in 40 to 60 days. Because it is a fast-growing herb, you will have a steady supply of fresh leaves throughout the summer months if you harvest regularly.

Purple Krishna Tulsi requires full sun to develop its signature purple foliage and aromatic oils. It has average water requirements, so keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained, avoiding waterlogged conditions.

The leaves have a distinct, sweet, clove-like fragrance that works beautifully in teas, soups, and fresh salads. It is best to add them toward the end of the cooking process to preserve their delicate flavor and aromatic profile.
