This hardy basil variety adds a distinctive, refreshing fragrance to garden beds, borders, or containers, and its attractive green leaves and small white flower spikes make it a charming ornamental addition to any sunny spot. As a fast-growing plant, it provides lush, textural greenery throughout the growing season, appealing to gardeners looking for something unique and functional.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis basil is typically grown for its ornamental appeal and culinary curiosity, as its strong camphor aroma pairs well with savory dishes or can be used to create fragrant herbal infusions. It thrives as a bushy, woody-stemmed plant that benefits from regular pruning to encourage fresh growth. When planted in well-drained soil with full sun, it establishes readily from seed and can be grown as an annual in cooler climates or as a perennial container plant in frost-free areas. Ideal for adding structure to herb gardens, mixed borders, or patio pots.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Ocimum kilimandscharicum\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: African Camphor Basil\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Herb Seeds\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, bushy perennial\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-draining, moderately fertile soil\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: 75-90 days after planting\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 8-11 (perennial), annual elsewhere\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 7-14 days at 70-75°F\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Sow seeds 1\/4 inch deep, keep moist until germination\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 12-18 inches apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Strong camphor aroma; pinch back tips for bushier growth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663090057352,"sku":"EXGA-256","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_e6215a5a-f19c-497a-aaf1-db51ce4b6937.png?v=1791895645","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/10-seeds-african-camphor-basil-ocimum-kilimandscharicum-seeds-herb","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
