Product Highlights
Shyama Tulsi, also known as Krishna Tulsi or Kali Tulsi, is a much-loved variety of holy basil. Growing it from seed is simple and rewarding. The seeds are tiny, so you only need to cover them lightly with soil. In warm weather they usually sprout within a couple of weeks. As the plant grows, you will notice the darker leaves and stems, which look beautiful next to other green plants. Pinching the tips regularly keeps the plant bushy and full. One pack is enough for several pots, which makes it good value for a small home garden.
