It grows best in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Consistent moisture is key, but the soil should never become soggy. To encourage lush, bushy growth, pinch off the growing tips of the plant regularly and remove any flowers unless you're growing it for ornamental purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511142711582,"sku":"HB224","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/basil_seeds_cardinal.jpg?v=1782396790","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/basil-cardinal","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
