Experience the ancient wellness tradition of Holy Basil (Tulsi) with this sacred herb grown from seed. Also known as Kapoor Tulsi or Ocimum tenuiflorum, this aromatic basil has been cherished in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries as the “Queen of the Herbs.” Known for its adaptogenic properties, Tulsi is believed to help the body manage stress, support immune balance, and promote overall vitality.
Native to the tropics of Southeast Asia, Holy Basil thrives in warm conditions and produces soft, fragrant leaves with a light anise-clove aroma. These leaves can be steeped into a soothing herbal tea celebrated for its calming and uplifting qualities. Beyond its culinary and wellness uses, Tulsi adds spiritual and sensory beauty to your garden, attracting pollinators and releasing a sweet, refreshing fragrance.
Sacred, Soothing, and Strengthening:
- Revered Ayurvedic herb known for adaptogenic benefits.
- Delightfully aromatic leaves for herbal teas and tonics.
- Attracts bees and butterflies to the garden.
- Symbol of purity and protection in traditional Hindu homes.
Why Customers Love Holy Basil (Tulsi):
- Grows easily in warm climates or sunny containers.
- Dual purpose: spiritual significance and wellness value.
- Adds a relaxing fragrance to patios and meditation spaces.
- Harvests continuously through the warm season.
How to Grow:
- Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly after soil warms.
- Plant seeds ¼ inch deep in well-draining soil and keep consistently moist.
- Provide full sunlight (6+ hours daily) and warm temperatures.
- Pinch back early growth to encourage a bushy, compact form.
Harvest & Use:
Pick leaves regularly once plants are established. Use fresh or dried for herbal tea, tinctures, or natural remedies. To make Tulsi tea, steep a handful of leaves in hot water for 5–10 minutes for a fragrant, stress-soothing infusion.
