There it was revered as a sacred and medicinal plant — holy basil, or tulsi, remains deeply woven into Indian tradition to this day. From its homeland basil travelled the ancient spice routes to Persia, the Mediterranean and beyond, becoming a cornerstone of Italian, Greek and Southeast Asian cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts name carries that long history: it comes from the Greek \u003cem\u003ebasileus\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning “king” — the “royal herb” — perhaps because it was used in royal perfumes and remedies. Through the centuries basil has been linked to everything from love and protection to mourning, and few herbs have gathered such a rich tapestry of folklore around a single plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBotanical characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBasil is a bushy, soft-stemmed annual reaching 30–60 cm, with glossy, intensely fragrant leaves and upright spikes of small white or purple flowers that bees adore. Its aromatic oils — chiefly those giving the familiar clove-and-anise scent — vary widely between types, which is why the species is so diverse. Sweet Genovese is the classic for pesto; Thai basil brings a spicy, aniseed note; lemon and lime basils add citrus; and dark-leaved purple forms are as ornamental as they are tasty. All are varieties of the same species. As a tender annual it also sits among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/annual-herbs\"\u003eannual herbs\u003c\/a\u003e and, for its scent alone, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/aromatic-herbs\"\u003earomatic herbs\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Ocimum basilicum from seed\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBasil needs warmth above all else. Sow indoors from spring in gentle heat, keep seedlings bright, and never let them sit cold and wet — water in the morning rather than the evening to avoid the damping off that fells so many young plants. Once established, pinch out the growing tips regularly: this keeps plants bushy, delays flowering and gives you far more leaf over the season. Basil thrives in a sunny, sheltered spot or a pot on a warm windowsill, and is a classic companion for tomatoes in the garden and on the plate.
