The leaves are smooth, and even the stem is tender enough for raw eating in salad. A popular Chinese variety perfect for Asian dishes and fusion cooking! This delicious herb is hard to find in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chinese Sweet basil thrives in sunny, warm conditions, needing 8-12 hours of direct sunlight daily. This variety grows best in rich, well-draining soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Regular pruning or pinching back of leaves will encourage bushier plants and prolong the growing season by preventing early flowering. For best results, keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511718838558,"sku":"HB298","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/basil_chinese_sweet.jpg?v=1782403862","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/basil-chinese-sweet","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
