1 Live Starter Plant Holy Basil Kapoor Tulsi Organic Culinary Herb

Holy Basil, also known as Kapoor Tulsi, is a fragrant culinary and ornamental herb valued for its aromatic leaves and traditional place in herb gardens. It offers a bushy, generous habit, making it an appealing choice for gardeners who enjoy growing fresh herbs for the kitchen and for mixed plantings. Its bright green foliage and soft texture work well in beds, borders, and patio containers.

The leaves are commonly used fresh or dried in teas, salads, and cooked dishes, where their clove-like, slightly peppery flavor adds a distinctive note. Plants perform well in warm conditions and respond to regular harvesting with fuller growth. Pinch flower buds to keep foliage tender and productive through the season. Suitable for herb gardens, kitchen gardens, and container growing, it pairs nicely with other culinary herbs.
