Start basil seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before your last frost date to ensure a strong start. Sow seeds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) deep, covering them lightly with soil, and keep the soil moist until germination, which typically occurs within 10-14 days.

After the risk of frost has passed, transplant basil seedlings outdoors in a sunny location, spacing plants 24-36 inches (60-90 cm) apart. This spacing allows for healthy growth and makes it easy to harvest vibrant, flavorful leaves all season long.
