Cultivation and Growing Tips

Growing Ocimum basilicum 'Wild Magic' is a rewarding experience for both seasoned gardeners and beginners alike. Here are some essential tips to help you cultivate this enchanting herb:

1. Ideal Growing Conditions

Basil Fairytale Wild Magic thrives in warm and sunny locations, so choose a spot in your garden or balcony that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Ensure the soil is well-draining, rich in organic matter, and kept consistently moist.

2. Planting

Start by sowing the seeds indoors in early spring, about 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Fill seed trays or pots with well-draining potting mix, sprinkle the seeds on the surface, and lightly cover them with a thin layer of soil. Once the seedlings have grown a couple of inches tall and outdoor temperatures remain above 50°F (10°C), you can transplant them to their final location.

3. Care and Maintenance

To ensure your 'Wild Magic' basil thrives, remember to:

• Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
• Pinch off the flowers as they appear to encourage continuous leaf growth.
• Apply a gentle organic fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to promote healthy foliage and vibrant color.
