🌿 Thai Holy Basil Seeds (Ocimum tenuiflorum)

💰 Price: Package of 0.036 g (100 seeds) or 1 g (≈2800 seeds)


🌸 Thai Holy Basil, also known as Tulsi or Ocimum tenuiflorum, is one of the most revered and versatile herbs in Asia. Native to India and Southeast Asia, this sacred plant holds deep cultural, culinary, and medicinal importance. In Thailand, it is called “Kaphrao” (กะเพรา) and is used daily in street food, giving dishes their authentic spicy, clove-like aroma and peppery flavor.

This fast-growing perennial herb reaches 30–60 cm (12–24 in) in height and produces aromatic green or purple leaves covered in fine hairs. Its small purple flowers grow in elegant whorls along the stems. Thai Holy Basil differs from “Thai Sweet Basil” — it has a sharper, spicier taste that perfectly complements stir-fries, curries, and rice dishes such as Pad Kaphrao.

Beyond its culinary value, Holy Basil is a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine and Hindu tradition. It is considered a sacred plant, worshipped as an incarnation of the goddess Lakshmi and believed to purify body, mind, and spirit. The leaves are used in teas, tinctures, and essential oils to support immunity, reduce stress, and balance energy. It is also a natural insect repellent, often placed near homes and temples for protection.


🌾 Growing Instructions

Holy Basil thrives in warm, sunny locations with well-drained soil.

  • 🌡️ Temperature: 20–30 °C (68–86 °F)

  • 🌞 Light: Full sun or partial shade

  • 🌱 Sowing: Sow indoors year-round; transplant outdoors after frost

  • 💧 Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, not waterlogged
