Varieties of Ocimum basilicum are known everywhere for their aromatic qualities, but they also possess numerous medicinal virtues that we take advantage of every time we use them to make, for example, a famous pesto. As well as being pleasant to the palate, they stimulate the appetite, relieve epilepsy, intestinal spasms, difficult digestion, anxiety, stress, dizziness, nervous insomnia, migraines, rheumatism, colds and coughs. They also relieve bloating and flatulence, and are immunostimulant. Basil leaves are antioxidant and can be used in essential oils, infusions or simply raw.

in bucket

Sow in trays at temperatures between 18 and 20°C, under a well-lit shelter, 6 weeks before planting. Transplant into individual cups when plants have 4 to 5 leaves, or plant directly into warmed soil, spaced 25 to 30 cm apart. Take care not to over-water to avoid the risk of wilting.
