Thai Basil has a slight licorice flavor and is a must if you like Thai foods. The plant and leaves are smaller than Italian basil and it really likes the heat. Also very attractive, with green leaves, bronze stems, and pink blossoms. A beautiful plant with an enticing aroma.
Plant basil in full sun in soil that is amended with compost and a high nitrogen fertilizer for the most vigorous leafy growth. It may also be planted in a container using fresh potting soil, and feed regularly with a liquid high nitrogen fertilizer.
Harvest basil by pinching off entire stems just above the branches. Fertilize every few weeks with a liquid, high nitrogen fertilizer to encourage more leafy growth. Keeping the flowers cut back will also encourage leafy growth. Add a handful of leaves to Thai cuisine and also dishes of Southeast Asia.
