Holy Basil [ ocimum tenuiflorum ]

Holy basil can be grown by seeds or by cutting, cutting is much easier and faster. Make sure to water daily and grown in full sun. Great for cooking thai food and it has a sweet smelling flavour but a little pungent.

You can simply regrow these basil by cutting them and sticking them into the ground or you can harvest the dried flower which house these little seed pod with tiny black seeds in it.
