(Ocimum tenuiflorum, also known as Ocimum sanctum, or Tulasi) Extremely healthy! Tulasi (Sanskrit:-Surasa) has been used for thousands of years in Ayurveda for its diverse healing properties. It is mentioned in the Charaka Samhita, an ancient Ayurvedic text. Tulsi is considered to be an adaptogen, balancing different processes in the body, and helpful for adapting to stress. Marked by its strong aroma and astringent taste, it is regarded in Ayurveda as a kind of "elixir of life" and believed to promote longevity. 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 where the number of growing days are limited. Very easy to grow! Keep the soil moist but not saturated until germination occurs. In warm climates, the Tulsi seeds can be directly started outdoors in prepared seedbeds or pots. The Tulsi Basil plants benefit from regular fertilizer feeding. *** *** Keep seeds moist until germination! Sow seeds indoors just on the surface of the soil.
