Basil UK: /ËbÃ¦zÉl/; US: /ËbeÉªzÉl/ (Ocimum basilicum), also called great basil or Saint-Joseph's-wort, is a culinary herb of the family Lamiaceae (mints). It is also called the king of herbs and the royal herb. The name basil comes from Greek Î²Î±ÏÎ¹Î»Î¹ÎºÏÎ½ ÏÏÏÏÎ½ (basilikÃ³n phutÃ³n), royal/kingly plant. Basil is possibly native to India, and has been cultivated there for more than 5,000 years.
It is important to keep the soil moist and somewhat cool and to plant the Basil in a large pot; and to pinch off the flowers that begin to form as frequently as you can. Under perfect conditions, Basil plants can grow for up to 6 months in the ground, and up to four months in a pot.asil plants can grow to 1-2 feet tall and over 3 feet around. Outdoors, basil plants prefer temperatures between 50 and 90 degrees. Anything above or below those temperatures cause the plants to stop growing leaves, they will flower profusely (in the case of above 90 degrees temperatures), and eventually die.
