Sow seeds ½ inch deep and 2 to 3 inches apart; thin to 1 foot apart once seedlings appear. You can also start seeds indoors four to six weeks before planning to transplant. Set seedlings or nursery plants 10 to 12 inches apart.
Basil grows well in containers. Almost any size pot over 8 inches wide will work, but the larger the container, the larger the plant. Make sure drainage is adequate. Grow several different basils in one pot or pair the plant with other herbs or vegetables such as tomatoes.
For a successive harvest, add new plants or sow seeds about a month to six weeks after your first planting date.
