  • 🌱 Growing Tips for Basil 'Aromatto'

    Give your Basil 'Aromatto' the right care, and it will reward you with beautiful foliage, purple blooms, and loads of flavor all season long.

    ☀️ Sunlight

    • Plant in full sun — aim for at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
    • Great for sunny patios, decks, or garden beds.

    🌿 Soil & Planting

    • Prefers well-drained soil; avoid spots where water sits after rain.
    • Enrich the soil with compost before planting for best growth.
    • Space plants about 10–12 inches apart to allow good air flow.

    💧 Watering

    • Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy.
    • Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
    • Try to water at the base of the plant and keep the leaves as dry as possible to prevent disease.

    🌡️ Temperature

    • Basil loves warm weather and is not frost-tolerant.
    • Plant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and nights are consistently above 50°F (10°C).

    🌱 Feeding

    • Basil doesn’t need heavy feeding.
    • Use a balanced, organic fertilizer every 3–4 weeks, or mix compost into the soil at planting time.

    ✂️ Harvesting for More Growth

    • Start harvesting once plants are 6–8 inches tall.
    • Pinch off the top sets of leaves just above a pair of leaves — this encourages bushier growth.
    • Regular harvesting keeps plants full, leafy, and productive.

    🌸 Flowers & Flavor

    • ‘Aromatto’ has beautiful purple flowers that attract bees and butterflies 🦋.
    • For the strongest flavor, pinch off flower buds as they appear.
    • If you want more pollinators, let some flower while still harvesting leaves from the rest.

    🪴 Containers

    • Grows beautifully in pots and containers.
    • Choose a container with drainage holes and use a high-quality potting mix.
    • Container plants may need more frequent watering, especially in hot weather.

    ❄️ Season’s End

    • Basil is an annual — it won’t survive frost.
    • Before cold weather arrives, harvest generously and preserve leaves by drying or freezing.

    With plenty of sun, good drainage, and regular harvesting, Basil 'Aromatto' will thrive and fill your garden and kitchen with color, fragrance, and flavor. 🌿💜
