    1. Ethan –

      Very sweet smelling. It’s reminiscent of licorice mixed with sweet basil.

    2. Mumbai Balcony Gardener –

      Plenty of seeds, excellent germination , grew beautifully and will be my basil of choice to grow for its flowers . The flowers are abundant and form in long stems , the stingless bees , native bees and wasps just loved these .

    3. fwmilmo –

      High germination, very prolific. Smells and tastes amazing! I agree, nice sweet smell.

    4. Darren Lind –

      Great germination and very fragrant! I enjoy this basil

    5. Joseph –

      Very fragrant and versatile as well. It also grows like nuts once it gets established.

      Thai basil seeds were slower to germinate compared to other basil seeds I started this year. But now that they are established, they seem to be taking off. Compared to Italian Large Leaf Basil, Holy Basil and Dolce Fresca Basil, the Thai basil had absolutely zero insect damage. Which is great, because that means more basil for me. Used it in Thai basil fried rice today, and it was absolutely delicious!

      my go to basil for spring salad rolls. grows well indoors under lights during the winter months. not bothered by pests in the garden either.

      This is my first time with holy basil. I can’t wait to see it flowering. Making a whole basil bed with all the different basils.

      I love this basil! I use it in all my Thai style dishes from drunken noodle, to stir fry, and curries. This is probably the best tasting herb and enhances the flavors amazingly. Without this, the Thai dishes simply just do not taste the same. Germination rate is magnificent and if allowed, these will self sow on their own for next year. This can be a plus, but sometimes they grow where they aren’t supposed to. They are easy to pull when they do though and then I just cook them up.

      Absolutely beautiful this plant is huge now and tastes great even after it flowered and it has the prettiest purple flowers

    11. steveosullivan77 –

      Great germination & growth, but don’t care for the flavor

    12. lori.m.greco –

      Seriously one of my most favorite basil varieties out there. Are use this one and the Italian large leaf the most. Are use this basil and a lot of pho soups, curries, and stir fry’s. Amazing flavor that you just can’t replicate with other herbs and spices.

    13. Joseph –

      The perfect basil to use with Asian foods. The flavor is just different from the American/European basil varieties… in a good way.

      These seeds are great!

    15. hjhumphrey17 –

      We love Thai basil in our house, and this Thai basil was amazing! It grew so well for us last year and was super productive! Planted the remaining seeds this year and it still germinated amazing and is already about 8inch tall about 6 weeks later. Amazing.
