Basil 'Magic Mountain' will arrive as a beautifully grown seedling, fully prepared for moving to its permanent location. Because it is a plant of tropical origin that absolutely cannot tolerate frost, definitely wait with planting it outdoors until the second half of May, when there is no longer a risk of morning frosts. Choose the sunniest spot possible, protected from the wind. The soil should be nutritious, rich in humus, and, most importantly, well-drained. As you may already know, overly wet and heavy clay soils are not suitable; the roots cannot breathe in them, and the plant would suffer. Since this cultivar grows to an impressive height of forty to eighty centimeters, maintain a spacing of around fifty centimeters when planting in a flower bed. This corresponds to about four to six plants per square meter, which ensures sufficient air circulation.
This basil is absolutely ideal for growing in spacious containers or planters on balconies and terraces. If you choose a pot, don't forget to place a drainage layer at the bottom and use high-quality, permeable substrate. It requires regular watering; the soil should remain slightly damp but never permanently waterlogged. On hot summer days, the plant in the container will need watering more frequently than one in a bed. For lush foliage and a profusion of dark purple flowers, which appear from June to September and attract bees, we recommend occasional fertilization during the season. It is best to use organic fertilizer specifically designed for herbs to preserve its excellent properties for use in the kitchen.
Growing it is extremely easy, and even absolute beginners can handle it with ease. The plant is naturally highly resistant and does not suffer from any common diseases. During the season, just occasionally check to see if slugs or snails are enjoying the juicy leaves, and aphids may exceptionally appear on young shoots. Don't be afraid to regularly trim and pinch the plant – cutting long stems for summer bouquets or culinary purposes acts as a great back-pruning that will support its branching and overall vitality. In the autumn, you will unfortunately have to say goodbye to it. It is a typical annual whose life cycle ends uncompromisingly at temperatures around zero, so any overwintering is not possible.
The information given is based on our experience, please use it as a guide only. Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
