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

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
