Lightly cover seeds with ¼ inch of soil and keep consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days. Provide full sun and well-drained soil. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, thin or transplant to 12–18 inches apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly to maintain even moisture, but avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk. Pinch back flower buds to encourage leaf production, or allow some flowers to bloom for pollinator appeal. Harvest leaves as needed throughout the season, preferably in the morning for best flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e600 Cinnamon Basil seeds (Ocimum basilicum).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824725066038,"sku":"FOLIA2-1097","price":13.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6521252474_d82v.jpg?v=1793004333","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/600-cinnamon-basil-seeds-ocimum-basilicum-aromatic-herb-with-spicy-sweet-flavor","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
