Holy Basil Seeds – Tulsi, Non-GMO Heirloom 0.15G

Seeds arrived in good condition I will be purchasing more seeds in the future.

I got the holy basil seeds to try with my aerogarden. All of them germinated and the holy basil are coming in nicely.

The seeds germinated and in about four weeks I got the plants you can see in my picture. The leaf is thinner and quite different in shape than the usual sweet basil. But the big difference is the flavor: something between basil, lemon balm and a hint of mint. Also a slightly bitter undertone that I don’t find unpleasant.

First off, I will start by saying I love that these are heirloom seeds and are non-GMO! It makes me feel good about what I am growing and feeding my family. The seeds I have planted so far have just started sprouting, and I am excited to see how they grow and how this basil tastes. Basil is one of our must have herbs, especially on pasta. So far, these seeds seem to have an excellent germination rate, however I only planted a few seeds so far to get me started. I have used this brand before and have been happy with everything I have tried from them so far, and these seeds are no different. I love that this pouch contains so many seeds, assuming there are as many in this pouch as it claims. It definitely seems like there are 1,400 seeds in this pouch, which makes these seeds an incredible deal. They will last me a long time and I have plenty to share with family and friends as well. Based on my experience with these seeds so far, I would absolutely recommend them!

We planted these seeds using a seed-starter kit and they began to sprout in just three days (see picture) - a good sign that the seeds were healthy to begin with. They come in a typical seed packet with growing information on the back based on location and climate.

Thrilled with this pack of holy basil seeds. So far my germination rate has been excellent and I love that these are organic heirloom seeds. Quite a large count too - approx. 1400 seeds in the pack, which should last me a while. Super fair price and Ill be growing these babies all your long with so many seeds to work with! Cure packaging, fair price, and a fabulous addition to my herb garden this summer!

I guess 100% germination rate on my first 4 seeds is about as good as it gets. I have been happy with all of my Organo Republic.Also, the envelope is very pretty and has a lot of information on germination, growing etc.

Our 7 year old planted these holy basil seeds some time last week. I didn't expect them to grow but lo and behold! After a good soaking from a few thunderstorms and a few showers, they sprouted.Instructions and detailed info on the back of the packet are very good. A+ product.Update 7/25/24 - excellent survival rate. Picture taken 2 wks ago and still growing.

I've already had great success with many other types of seeds from Organo Republic. So, I'm confident that these seeds will be just as good. If I run into any issues, I'll update this review.

Germination rate was awful

Seeds sprouted within days and almost 100% germination

Took a long time to germinate, but it could be because of the weather. Once they germinated it looked like a majority of the seeds sprouted

Germinate and still growing!

My seeds germinated in 4 days so far all is good

Just as advertised. Seeds were very well packed and arrived via mail with no issues.
Thank you!

Did not sow yet

They are growing really good. I can't wait till they get to where I can use them

Germinated pretty easily. I don’t have a green thumb yet so this was pretty important

Able to have plant grow with harvestable leaves. Plant died in winter when frost hit

When it gets warmer I can't wait to see how they grow

Great seeds delivered on a timely manner!

Great that I receive this
Been looking for it

So far the seed and packaging look ok. Now we wait for growth to see how they perform.

I'm very pleased with the results. The packaging was secure, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. Germination was good with 85% of the seeds sprouting.

None sprouted but maybe I did something wrong

very good

Fast shipper, affordable price, and healthy seeds. Sprouting has begun, really looking forward to seeing the holy basil grow. Thank you! A+

The seeds a really germinated quickly, can’t wait to start enjoying these. Buy them

Not much to report yet, other than good germination rates. I feel like I get more seeds from this brand than I do from the packs at the garden store and the quality seems the same to me. The packaging is nice and it has lots of information on the back to help you understand each plant better. Overall seems like a great value.

I don't know what's going on this year, but my plants are suffering with the extreme heat in our area. Many of my plants died off after being prorogated indoors. Basil tends to be hardy though, and I'll need to try again and update. We also had a cicada invasion this past spring/summer, so I wonder if that had anything to do with it...
