It loves Alabama heat but sulks in cold soil, so plant it out only once nights stay above 55F. Pinch flower spikes the moment they appear, since flowering turns the leaves bitter and cuts production hard. Shipped in a 4\" Pot, well-rooted from our Lineville, Alabama nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrown in: Lineville, Alabama (no synthetic pesticides)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreshness: Harvested at peak and sold fresh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailability: Seasonal - local Alabama delivery \u0026amp; pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: Refrigerate and enjoy fresh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun, 6-8 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consistent moisture; do not let it wilt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil with plenty of compost worked in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed every 3-4 weeks with a balanced fertilizer to keep leaf production ahead of flowering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is it grown?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn our farm in Lineville, Alabama.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it local?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes - harvested in Alabama and sold fresh through local delivery and farmers markets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wade Greens™","offers":[{"title":"4\" Pot","offer_id":49176846926041,"sku":"WG-SWEETBASIL-4IN","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" Pot","offer_id":49176846958809,"sku":"WG-SWEETBASIL-6IN","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/wadegreens.com\/products\/sweet-basil-genovese-live-herb","provider":"Wade Greens™","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
