Item Details
There’s more than one reason that ‘Tulsi’ (or holy) basil—considered a sacred plant in the Hindu religion—has been widely cultivated for millenia. It boasts an enticing clove-like aroma, grows fast, tolerates frost well, and is reputed to combat stress and boost the immune system. This versatile herb can be eaten fresh, dried, or made into tea. The green-leafed plants have a bush growing habit. 70-90 days.

Never sprouted
by ANUSHA
Sadly, not one has sprouted. I was really hoping to get at least 1 plant since it's a sacred plant in our culture and has great medicinal uses.
