Sow the seeds in well-drained soil, about 0.5 cm deep, and keep them evenly moist. Cover the sowing tray with a transparent cover to retain moisture.

Tips and tricks

Ocimum basilicum "Palla Compacto" loves the sun! Make sure the plants receive at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Water regularly, but avoid waterlogging as this can lead to root rot. To encourage bushy growth, you should regularly cut back the tips of the shoots. Remove flowers as soon as they appear to direct the plant's energy to the leaves - this will give you a richer harvest. In cooler weather, you can bring the plant indoors and place it on a sunny windowsill.
