Our tips for successfully growing your mammoth basil

Mammoth basil is a variety with very broad, curly leaves. Each plant grows at a different speed. Mammoth Basil grows in two-leaf stages. Wait until there are two layers before harvesting (around 15-20 cm high), then harvest leaf by leaf as needed.

From 4-5 weeks or when the plant has 2 pairs of leaves, you can start harvesting. Cut the stem 1 cm above a node. This will give you a fuller plant. It's important to cut the tallest stems to allow the side leaves to develop properly, so that they don't reach the light.
