Lake Valley Heirloom Spicy Globe Basil Seeds

Spicy Globe is a delightful ornamental basil with finely cut leaves and an attractive mounding habit. Perfect as a border plant where its shape and texture can be used to highlight other flowering annuals.

Sowing Information:

  • Light: Full sun to part shade
  • When to Start Inside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting outside. Transplant when your nighttime temperatures are above 50°F.
  • When to Sow Outside: 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when the soil temperature is at least 60°F, ideally 65°–85°F. Successive Sowings: We recommend 3 or 4 successive sowings every 3 weeks after initial sowing.
  • Seed Depth: Plant seeds ¼ inch deep
  • Seed Spacing: A group of 2 seeds every 12 inches
  • Row Spacing: 12 inches
  • Thinning: When 2" tall, thin to 1 every 12 inches
  • Days to Germinate: 5-10 days
  • Days to Maturity: 80-90 days

Growing Notes:

  • Harvesting: Basil flavor is best before the plant flowers. Harvest up to 1/3 of the plant at a time, leaving enough for the plant to be healthy and keep producing. Harvest prior to a frost; basil is very frost-sensitive.
  • Attributes: Good for containers




"I was in there today may 17th 2025 and two very lovely employees helped me out! One was a guy (cashier) other was a young woman in a hat. The guy asked if I would like the plant repotted and informed me that I needed a bigger pot for the plant to grow in. The girl walked me back to the pots and helped me pick the right size! They were very friendly and helpful they made my visit there amazing! I hope you know who I am talking about so you can give them recognition!"

"The employees at Bath are very helpful and I didn’t have any problems finding someone to answer questions on either trip. They have a large selection and plenty of parking. They offer a lot of extras like garden art and pots."
