Krishna Holy BasilTulsi Ocimum tenuiflorum Seeds ~200 Certified Organic Non-GMO Heirloom Open Pollinated Seeds from The United States

Krishna Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum), or Holy Basil is a highly-valued plant, sacred to Hindus and practitioners of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medicine tradition. Ayurveda considers tulsi to promote longevity, and overall health and peace of mind and body. ?? Spiritually, Tulsi is though to offer divine protection – the plant an incarnation of the goddess, Tulsi in Hindu mythology. Many Indian families grow Tulsi inside or outside their homes for protection from misery, fear, poverty and disease. Krishna, or Purple Tulsi, is a relatively rare variety, with beautiful red and green mottled leaves. Krishna Tulsi seeds can take up to two weeks to germinate, so be patient and consistent with watering. Press the tiny seeds into the surface of good-quality potting soil, and keep moist throughout the germination period. Seeds can be sown indoors in late winter to get a jump on spring. When the soil has warmed in spring, plant tulsi seedlings in a space with plenty of sun. Tulsi is not too picky about soil, but definitely appreciates a bit of fertility and moderate water. Harvest tulsi leaves at any time once established and growing with vigor and health.
