Cinnamon, spice "Spice" and Thai basil — 3 seed discs, Baltic Agro
Seller: ALLIKASILM
About this product
Cinnamon, spice "Spice" and Thai basil discs (Ocimum basilicum) — three basils in one packet, each with its own scent. Cinnamon basil brings a sweet spiced note, spice basil "Spice" the strong classic basil flavour, and Thai basil is the one without which no proper South-East Asian dish works.
The seed comes on a disc 8 cm across: set the disc on the compost in a pot, press it down and water. No counting seeds, no thinning — the disc gives a dense stand straight away, to be picked leaf by leaf.
It grows on a windowsill, balcony, terrace or in a greenhouse: basil is one of the few herbs that gives a real crop indoors. Three discs per packet. Producer Baltic Agro, Estonia.

Advice from our agronomist
Setting the disc. Put each disc in its own pot on moist compost and press it down. No need to cover it. Three basils will not share one pot: they grow at different speeds and the strongest smothers the rest.
Moisture. Keep the sowing evenly moist until the seedlings are up — a disc that dries out germinates unevenly and half the seed never appears.
Warmth and light. Below 15 degrees growth stops. A cold windowsill hurts basil more than dry indoor air: stand the pot on a cork mat or a folded towel.
Pinching. Pinch the tips regularly — it makes the plant branch and delays flowering.
Remove flower buds. Take them off as soon as they appear: once it flowers the leaves turn bitter and the plant stops making new ones.
