For possibly the best lasting potted basil with a great flavour grow Bosham whose every leaf has a slightly curled edge forming a rim. These are robust plants that can survive the odd forgotten watering on your windowsill but not a prolonged drought! Also happy outside as upright mid-green growth acting as a foil to showier plants in your borders or veg beds: grab a handful and add to your cooking within minutes of serving to get that full strength of flavour at its best.
SPRING: sow in pots or plug trays using bottom heat or wait until mid-spring, water well early in the day. Transplant the seedlings when large enough & after frost risk is over. Grow at any time of the year for indoor pot plants.
SUMMER: pinch out to prevent flowering and harvest the curled edge leaves
AUTUMN: bring a pot into the house, dig up old plants from the garden and prepare for next year.
Grab a handful of Bosham to add towards the end of cooking or just one leaf for a light touch in a salad! Having Bosham on a windowsill makes it possible to reach for the fresh flavour whenever you need it.
