Ocimum, Basil 'Spicy Globe' Heirloom

Description

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.

Plant in a warm sunny location with rich, moist soil. Basil loves heat and does not begin vigorous growth until night and day temperatures have warmed in late spring. Start outdoors in late spring or indoors 4 weeks before last frost date for transplants. Trim back entire plant by one-third if it begins flowering to preserve compact shape. Leaves can be used for flavoring like other basil varieties.

Botanical Name: Ocimum basilicum
