Sweet Basil is a fragrant, tender annual herb prized for its bright flavor and versatility in the kitchen. It thrives in full sun and prefers regular watering, keeping the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in warm, well-draining soil after all danger of frost has passed. Basil can be started from seed or transplanted, though young plants should be handled gently, and regular pinching encourages fuller growth.
