Basil is an annual herb most commonly known for being used in Italian cooking. It can be grown outside from spring and leaves can be harvested well into the autumn.
Plant any variety of basil outside once all danger of frost has passed, ideally in a sunny sheltered location with will drained soil or in pots, for plants grown in pots these can be moved into bigger pots if roots start to show through drainage holes.
Pinch the tips of branches regularly to keep the plants bushy and productive and remove flowers as they start to develop.
