I first had Thai Basil at my local Thai restaurant on top of a mango salad - I'd never tasted anything like it, and was completely hooked.

It is sweet and savory, with a rich anise flavour. I add it to curries, stir fries, fresh salads, sparkling water and all manner of beverages.

Thai Basil's dark purple stem and light purple flowers are an eye-catching addition to any garden. I grow mine with tomatoes and cucumber. Excellent container plant.

Produces an abundance of purple shouldered, orange fleshed beef steak tomatoes. 

Type: beef steak, Heirloom, Indeterminate, vining plants that will need staking. Plants will keep growing and producing until frost. You can read about the difference between Determinate and Indeterminate tomatoes here: Determinate vs. Indeterminate Tomatoes

Height: Indeterminate height. 

Light: Full sun

Soil: Rich soil. Use good quality compost around plants and mulch well.  

Water: Consistently keeping soil moist, but not wet, will result in good growth and happy tomatoes. Inconsistent moisture can lead to "Blossom End Rot".  Always water tomatoes at the base of the plant never getting water on the leaves.  

Planting: 

• Harden off* and then transplant to the garden after all frost danger is gone. 
• Bury them deep!  Plant the whole stem into the ground, not just the roots leaving only a few top leaves showing.  The plant will put out roots from the buried stem, making your plant grow nice and strong!
• Space plants 60-90 cm, 2-3' apart; space rows 3-4' apart. They will grow nicely in containers but will need some kind of support. 
• DO NOT crowd plants.  This leads to poor circulation and disease

Harvest: 75-85 days to maturity (from the day they are planted outside)

* Hardening off refers to the process of gently and gradually acclimatizing indoor grown seedlings to the great outdoors!  Don't throw your new babies straight into the elements!  Over the course of a week, take them outside for a few hours at a time, bringing them back indoors afterwards.  First sit them in the shade and then slowly introduce them to the sun.  Increase the length of time they are outside and are exposed to the sun, until you feel they are ready to face the big outside world!

Other tips:

Pruning out suckers on your plant will help it put more of its energy into fruit production.  Suckers appear between the main stem and the branches and can be easily taken out with your fingers.
