Yates - Seed Pack Thai Basil
Thai Basil is an essential herb used in Thai, Vietnamese, Lao, and Cambodian cuisine, valued for its distinctive anise flavour and bold aroma. Unlike sweet basil varieties, Thai basil retains its scent and taste even at high cooking temperatures, making it ideal for curries, stir-fries, and soups.
Easy to grow and highly productive, Thai Basil is well suited to home gardens, raised beds, and containers. Regular harvesting encourages strong, bushy growth and a continuous supply of fresh leaves throughout the growing season.
