How to Grow Holy Basil

You can grow holy basil much as you would other herbs, but it does need warm temperatures. Grow it outdoors in the summer, year-round if you are in a tropical or subtropical climate or keep it in containers that you can move inside in winter.


Use a light, well-draining soil that is enriched with organic material, although holy basil will tolerate poor soil fairly well. Your plant will also tolerate some shade, so full sun is not necessary.


Keep it watered but not soggy and harvest leaves as needed, just as you would with an ordinary sweet basil plant.
