Sweet Basil Seeds (Ocimum basilicum) – 250+ Non-GMO Heirloom Seeds for Planting, Classic Aroma & Flavor for Pesto, Sauces & Salads, by Isla’s Garden Seeds, Gift Idea for Gardeners

Sweet Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is the quintessential garden basil—fragrant, tender, and richly flavored. Glossy green leaves deliver the classic sweet-savory notes perfect for pesto, caprese, sauces, and fresh garnishes straight from the garden.

A warm-season favorite, plants grow vigorously to 18–24 inches with dense branching and generous foliage. Regular harvesting encourages new growth for a steady supply of tender leaves from early summer to frost in beds, raised planters, or containers.

Pinch flower buds to keep plants leafy and aromatic. Harvest in the morning for peak essential oils, and use fresh or dry gently for pantry-ready herbs. Leaves pair beautifully with tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and citrus.

Reliable, productive, and intensely aromatic, Sweet Basil is a kitchen essential and a must-grow for vibrant, fresh cuisine all season long.

Type: Annual (warm-season)
Sun: Full
Planting Depth: 1/4”
Spacing: 10–12”
Water: Consistent, moderate
Days to Maturity/Bloom: 60–75 days
Height: 18–24”

🌱Planting Instructions

Approx seeds per order 250

Sow indoors 4–6 weeks before last frost or direct sow after nights stay reliably above 50°F and soil is warm. Choose a sunny, well-draining site enriched with compost. Basil thrives with heat, light, and even moisture.

Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and space 10–12 inches apart in rows 12–18 inches. Keep soil evenly moist during establishment, then water regularly at the base. Mulch to hold moisture and reduce surface drying.

Begin harvesting when plants are 6–8 inches tall by pinching stems above a leaf pair to encourage branching. Remove flower spikes promptly to prolong leafy growth and maximize flavor throughout the season.

My Dog's All-Time Favorite Toy
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
The first one of these I ever got her was at Petco on sale for $1 - best $1 ever! The reviews are right, though. The toy doesn't last forever and it's not good for aggressive chewers. In my opinion, however, that doesn't make it a bad toy. Here's why: Aggressive chewers comments: Getting my sister's French Bulldog a stuffed toy (that's shredded in 5 minutes), compared to my Pitbull who does not tear up any toys, but is a stronger chewer when it comes to bones. My pup does not tear this up at all, but my sister's dog would. My point is: Don't get your dog a soft toy if your dog ruins soft toys. Regarding the not long-lasting comments: the honking noise mechanism inside eventually pops inside the hole, rendering it honkless. Ours lasted about 6 months. It's pretty much impossible to fix unless you want to trouble yourself to fix it for 1 good honk each fix. I would, but I do also have a job to get to. My dog does still carry it around in it's noiseless state, but she doesn't play with it with the same enthusiasm. How did I resolve this? I bought her 5 😂 She's only on her second, but I decided to stock it because they were on sale for $5.10 - I don't think I will get rid of any of them. I will just let her play with them on rotation until they fall apart. Besides all that, my dog just simply loves this toy. I have never seen her so happy & playful with a toy. I can't promise this for your dog, as I can only tell you about mine. We even have a "Sheepy" song. [I have not been paid or given free Sheeps - my Sweet Pea just really loves her Sheepy]

Loud! Just Like She Likes It
Color: Hedgehog, Style: Big Squeak Hedgehog
My Great Dane loves this noisy toy. She prefers squeaky toys with loud, unusual squeakers. (I need to invest in earplugs.) She's not an agressuve chewer or rough player so this should last a long time. Like most squeaky toys she has, the squeaker wears out before the physical toy does and once the noise is gone she won't play with it any more. If others have a similar issue...check with your local animal shelter. Some (not all) will disinfect used toys for the dogs in their care.

Fun while it lasts…
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
Fun while it lasts. Doesn’t last very long. This is our third one and last maybe a few weeks. The part that makes noise comes detached inside which causes to toy to no longer make noise, but also can be dangerous if it comes out.
