About Holy Basil

Holy Basil also known as Kapoor Tulsi, (Ocimum africanum), is a cherished herb in India, valued for its medicinal benefits and culinary uses. Organically grown for your peace of mind, this variety is compact, full, and features a unique spicy-sweet aroma with notes of clove, lemon, and cinnamon. This basil grows faster than other basil varieties and is adorned with purple flowers that attract beneficial pollinators like butterflies while adding ornamental beauty to your garden.

How to Grow Holy Basil – Tulsi

Holy Basil thrives in full sun and moderately rich, moist soil. It reaches a height of 12-18 inches, making it a great choice for herb gardens, containers, and ornamental borders. Hardy in USDA Zones 10-11, Kapoor Tulsi can be grown as a perennial in these warm climates. In cooler zones, it should be treated as an annual or brought indoors during colder months to continue thriving.

This variety is also resistant to downy mildew, ensuring healthy growth throughout the season. For the best flavor, begin light harvesting once the plants are established, and harvest the leaves before the plant starts to flower. Regular moisture is key to maintaining its lush, vibrant foliage.

Use Holy Basil for teas, culinary dishes, or simply enjoy its aromatic presence in your garden. This versatile herb offers both beauty and utility, making it a must-have for any gardener.
