Grow one of the world's most treasured herbs with Holy Basil (Tulsi), a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its aromatic foliage, beautiful purple-tinged stems, and rich cultural and culinary significance. Ocimum tenuiflorum (also known as Ocimum sanctum) is a fragrant herb widely grown for teas, culinary uses, and ornamental gardens. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With proper care, it may produce blooms under suitable growing conditions.

Holy Basil thrives in full sun and fertile, well-draining soil. Its highly fragrant leaves can be harvested throughout the growing season for fresh or dried use in herbal teas, culinary dishes, and aromatic herb gardens. During warm weather, attractive spikes of small lavender to purple flowers provide long-lasting beauty while supporting pollinators. This fast-growing herb performs well in garden beds, raised beds, and patio containers.
