Mrs. Burns basil plantlets are very sensitive to cold, so do not rush to move them to an outdoor bed or terrace and wait until the second half of May. Choose the warmest possible spot in direct sunlight for the plant, ideally protected from strong wind. The soil should be rich in nutrients, humus-rich, and above all, well-drained so that excess water does not linger in it. Definitely avoid heavy and cold soils. When planting in open ground, remember that this variety is quite vigorous and reaches a height of 60 to 90 centimeters. Therefore, plant individual plantlets at a distance of 50 centimeters from each other. This generous spacing will ensure not only enough space for growth but also the much-needed air circulation.
This distinctively aromatic herb is an absolutely ideal choice not only for classic beds but also for growing in containers, pots, and spacious window boxes on balconies. If you decide to grow it in a container, follow a few useful rules. For the choice of container, it should be spacious with drainage holes at the bottom. By adding a drainage layer of expanded clay, you will ensure that the roots will never stand in water. Regarding soil and fertilization, use a quality, humus-rich, and well-drained substrate intended for herbs. Watering should be done regularly, ideally early in the morning or in the evening. Keep the soil evenly moist, but let the top layer dry out slightly before the next watering. Do not forget about shaping and harvesting in the form of regular pinching of the top shoots, which will force the plant to branch continuously and give you a richer harvest.
From June to the end of September, you can look forward to beautiful, pure white and light pink flowers. If you let the plant bloom, it will become a huge attraction for bees and other pollinators. However, if you are growing basil primarily for culinary use, it is better to remove the forming buds continuously. In terms of health, you are in the clear because this variety does not suffer from any diseases. You only need to protect it from greedy slugs and snails, or possibly from aphids that might attack the young shoots. In autumn, you will say goodbye to the plant; it is a classic annual with zero frost resistance that will not withstand even the slightest frost, and overwintering is not performed under our conditions.
