If you have ever had your basil plants suddenly die from the Fusarium oxysporum (commonly known as fusarium wilt), then you must try Basil Nufar - it is the first ever sweet basil variety resistant to this nasty disease. In addition to its disease-fighting properties, Nufar is a delicious culinary herb, and a great guard plant for tomatoes and other vegetables in the garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNufar grows 18 to 24 inches high and 12 to 15 inches wide. The dark green, shiny leaves grow up to 2 inches long on a tall, erect plant that is slow to bolt. You'll enjoy big harvests from this ultra-healthy, dependable variety. It makes a great choice for new gardeners, as well as those looking to grow without any sprays or artificial additives in the garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasil is easy to grow, and Nufar is no exception. Begin the seeds either indoors in late winter or direct-sow in spring. To start indoors, sow about 6 to 8 weeks before last scheduled frost. The seeds will germinate in 5 to 10 days. Transplant when they have 2 sets of true leaves, spacing the plants 12 to 15 inches apart in the garden, or in your best containers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you are direct-sowing, wait until the soil has thoroughly warmed up in spring. Then cover the seeds with about ¼-inch of soil, and thin the young plants to 12 to 15 inches apart when they are about 2 inches tall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasil loves hot weather and plenty of sunshine, but it needs consistently moist, rich soil. Mulch the plants to retain moisture, and water heavily during dry spells. Harvest the plant before the cold weather sets in, as this will affect the leaves' texture and flavor. Freeze entire stems, with the leaves still attached, for best flavor retention, or dry the leaves for seasoning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eOverview\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor\/Outdoor Usage : Indoor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand : Park Seed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor : Nufar Hybrid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpected Blooming Period : Year Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunlight Exposure : Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit Count : 100.0 Count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpected Planting Period : Year Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zone : 1, 10, 11, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil Type : Sandy Soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoisture Needs : Regular Watering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ParkSeed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397482070269,"sku":"B07BB2B61K","price":14.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/7833\/9581\/files\/31awC1h-TzL._AC.jpg?v=1776419937","url":"https:\/\/gardenoasiss.com\/products\/b07bb2b61k","provider":"Garden Oasis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
