Sow seeds about ¼ inch (6 mm) deep in well‑drained soil and keep evenly moist until germination. Basil loves warmth and full sun, so choose a sunny site or a bright windowsill for containers. Thin or transplant seedlings to 8–12 in (20–30 cm) spacing to allow good airflow. Regular harvesting of leaves encourages bushier growth and more abundant flavour; pinch off flower buds to extend leaf production throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eQ: Can I grow Kitchen Blend basil in pots?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes — its compact size and abundant leaf production make it ideal for containers, patios, and herb gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eQ: How do I get the most flavour from my basil?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Harvest leaves regularly and pinch off flowers to keep the plant focused on producing delicious, aromatic foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Circle Farms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47662138884352,"sku":null,"price":3.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/6646\/7840\/files\/Basil_-_Kitchen_Blend.jpg?v=1765388187","url":"https:\/\/www.circlefarms.ca\/fr\/products\/basil-seeds-kitchen-blend","provider":"Circle Farms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
