(Ocimum sanctum, or Tulasi) Green-leaved Ram Tulsi variety.Perennial . Tulasi (Sanskrit:-Surasa) has been used for thousands of years in Ayurveda. It is mentioned in the Charaka Samhita, an ancient Ayurvedic text. Marked by its strong aroma and astringent taste, it is regarded in Ayurveda as a kind of "elixir of life". Don't buy expensive Tulsi tea. Grow your own! It grows like crazy and is super easy to grow. HOW TO GROW: Tulsi can be grown all year long in containers. It is suitable for apartment dwellers and gardeners who live in cool regions. Tulsi Basil plants benefit from regular fertilizer feeding. DO NOT COVER the seeds with soil but gently press into soil. Keep moist, not letting the seeds dry out between watering. Also, the SOIL should be kept consistently warm at 70-85F. If the indoor temperature is 70, the soil temp would be about 10 deg cooler than that. Cool soils, below about 60-65F, even just at night, will significantly delay or inhibit germination. Additionally, overly warm soils, well above 90F, can inhibit germination and provide ideal conditions for seed rot. Over watering can cause fungal growth which leads to seed rot. Excess water can also bury seeds deep in the soil where they will not be able break the surface. Water when the soil surface just begins to dry. Keep the container covered with a plastic bag on the top of the fridge or near the water heater where the room temperature is higher, therefore the soil temperature is perfect for germination. Allow proper air circulation for containers (make small holes in the cover). When the plants reach about 2" tall, transplant to larger containers or outdoors. SOIL Temperature for Germination: 70-75F Spacing: Rows 18 in. apart; thin 6-8 inches Hardiness: Zones 4-9 Sun Requirement: Full sun/ Part. Shade Days to Germination: 14-21 Germination Rate: 93%

100 percent germination
While the seeds are very tiny. They all germinated in pots. The seedlings will soon be ready to thin out. Can't wait to harvest for Pesto

Seeds did not germinate, despite following directions carefully
I've grown tulsi from seed before, but I've never had such lousy results in germination. I followed directions to a "t," but weeks after planting, protecting, and nurturing seeds, only a few (literally, 3 or 4!) tiny starts appear. Worse, they included the smallest number of seeds I've ever seen– no bargain. With more seed, I might have seen a better return on investment. I won't purchase from this company again.

The seeds actually germinate!
We live in south Florida where we have decent sunlight round the year. We planted these seeds in a pot and watered them lightly everyday. We put the pot facing south but not in direct sunlight. After 2 weeks, the seeds germinated into healthy looking plants which we have now transplanted into individual pots. We will see how they grow over the next few weeks, but so far looking good.

Growing well.
They seemed to grow better in the second planting, in which I stirred the soil lightly after planting the seeds.

No life in the seeds
Waste of money! Not one seed sprouted.

It is growing! Took longer than normal basil and much smaller seeds, but they all germinated and are soaking up the sun

Poor seed sprouting
Package arrived in a timely manner and was in great condition. Although they were in small plastic bags,which for those of us who go the extra mile to grow organic, is not preferable. The seeds appeared healthy, dry and in good condition. I followed the directions exactly, but only 10% of the seeds have sprouted and are currently about .5-1 inch in height. More than a little disappointing for sure. The lack of seed development and plastic bag use is why the 3 star rating.
