Popular with herbalists, this form of basil is regularly used in tinctures and teas.

Benjamin ★★★★★

Planted these in a small clay pot by my kitchen window and they've already brought a calm, almost temple-like feel to the room. The seeds themselves are tiny but vigorous, and knowing this plant is tied to Lakshmi makes the daily watering feel more like a small ritual than a chore.

Isabella D. ★★★★☆

I've been growing these in small pots on my windowsill and the aroma is already noticeable after just a few weeks. Only gave four stars because a couple of the seeds didn't sprout, but the ones that did are thriving.

Sophia V. ★★★★☆

These sprouted quickly and the seedlings have that classic spicy-sweet Tulsi scent. I just wish the packet had a few more seeds for the price.
