Plant Features

Siam Queen Basil Herb Plants produce beautiful, medium-sized leaves that offer a subtle licorice flavor; perfect for stir fries and soups. This All-American Selections Winner bears clusters of reddish-purple flowers that are sweet and spicy when fresh, while dried leaves have a licorice-basil aroma. Basil grows best in full sun locations with moist, well-drained soil. Young shoots can be harvested regularly over a four month period.

Planting Instructions:

- Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for full growth

Soil Preparation:

- Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.5, prefers rich, well-drained soil
- Enrich soil with compost or a balanced organic fertilizer prior to planting

Watering Specifics:

- Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy, especially during hot, dry periods

Fertilizer Type:

- Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season

Pruning and Training:

- Pinch back flower buds to encourage bushier growth and prolong leaf production
- Regular harvesting of leaves also promotes new growth

Additional Pest Management:

- Monitor for common pests such as aphids and spider mites
- Treat with organic pesticides or introduce beneficial insects as needed

Temperature Tolerance:

- Basil is sensitive to cold; protect plants from frost to prevent damage

Great for cooking

This is my second time buying this Thai basil. I grow it in my kitchen window next to some cilantro, and it gives enough leaves to make a curry every few weeks. The flowers are beautiful as well.

Siam Basil

Small plants when arrived- ! had couple brown leaves on it. Planted next day and am watching closely. No new growth as yet from the smaller plant. the other plant looks like might be getting some new leaf growth. Nice aroma!

Siam Queen Basil Herb Plant

I ordered two basil herb plants, so I could have this Siam Queen with the pretty blossoms to plant in my flower garden. I was able to use the fragrant leaves of both basils in my cooking. A double blessing! Thank You, GrowJoy! Nancy Gebhardt

Good experience, healthy plants

GrowJoy was the only place that I could still get Siam Queen Basil. Everyone else was out of stock. The online site was so easy to order from.The 4 plants were shipped quickly. The plants that arrived were a nice size and healthy. From start to finish, it was a good experience and I would order again from them.

Happy Planter

My order was received alive (very good sized) and very well packed. They have been planted in containers on my balcony and are flourishing. I have been ordering from GrowJoy for at least four years and have always been pleased with the results. Last year I placed my order a bit late and some of the herbs I wanted were no longer available. I ordered from two other sources and was extremely disappointed in the results. The plants were small and sickly looking and a couple did not survive.

Healthy and fragrant!

Healthy and fragrant new Basil Siam Queen Herb and the opportunity to experience great customer service. Would order again, to be sure!
