🚚 Shipping Note:

Please use discretion when ordering to western or northern states.

Due to long ground shipping times, delicate basil leaves may experience some stress or leaf loss during transit. If this occurs, simply prune back some of the damaged stems, leaving healthy leaves to maintain photosynthesis. New, vigorous growth will quickly flush out with proper care!

🍃 Plant Overview

Elevate your garden with the stunning Thai Tower basil! 🌿

This vigorous, upright variety boasts 2–3" lush green leaves with occasional purple flecks and soft purple stems. Unlike most Thai basils, it flowers up to 10–12 weeks later, meaning huge harvests of flavorful leaves all season long.

  • Flavor: Bold Thai/anise aroma, less sweet than Cinnamon basil. Perfect for Thai curries, Pad Thai, fresh salads, and infused oils.
  • Structure: Well-branched, tightly packed, and extremely productive. A beautiful and tidy column of flavor and color!

🌱 Best Growing Tips for Thai Tower Basil

  • Plant Deep for Lush Growth:When transplanting your 4" Thai Tower basil into the ground or a container, bury the stem slightly deeper — up to the first set of larger leaves. Basil will produce roots along the buried portion of the stem, creating a stronger, more resilient plant.
  • Choose the Right Location:Select a site with full sun and well-draining, fertile soil. Basil loves rich soil amended with compost.
  • Spacing:Plant 6–12" apart to allow good airflow and reduce disease risk, especially in humid climates.
  • Watering:Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and reduce weed competition.
  • Harvesting:Begin harvesting early and often! Regular pinching of growing tips encourages bushier growth and delays flowering even further.
  • Pruning After Shipping Stress:If shipping causes some leaf loss, trim back stems lightly to stimulate new shoots. Basil recovers quickly with warmth and sunlight!

🌿 Bonus Tip: Multiply Your Basil!

Want even more Thai Tower basil without buying additional plants?

Simply take cuttings!

  • Snip a 4–6" healthy stem just below a leaf node.
  • Remove the bottom leaves and place the cutting in water or moist soil.
  • Roots should develop within 7–14 days!
  • Once rooted, transplant directly into the garden for a lush basil jungle 🌿.

1. Shipping Stress: Transportation can be stressful for plants, particularly when they spend several days in a confined, dark environment. It’s common for plants to experience leaf drop during this period. Rest assured, most plants typically recover quickly and thrive with minimal aftercare. However, some may need extra attention, love, and care, requiring appropriate watering and exposure to gentle light post-unboxing.
 

2. Potential Physical Damage: Despite our dedicated efforts to ensure that your plants are securely packaged, they may incur damage during shipping and handling by UPS. Rest assured, our shipping team is committed to packing your selections with utmost care and precision to minimize any potential harm.

  • For significant box damage, please reach out to UPS within 30 days to initiate a claim.

  • For minor damages, such as a broken branch or stem, we advise allowing the plant time to recover and regenerate with proper care and attention.
     

3. Long-Distance Shipping Considerations: Orders shipped over long distances, particularly to the western US, may take 3 - 5 business days to arrive due to various factors, including agricultural inspections in Arizona, California, and Texas. Such extended transit times can be particularly challenging for tender, young plants, affecting their quality due to prolonged confinement.

  • We take additional measures during packaging to facilitate a swift recovery of the plants upon unboxing.

  • Initial extra care and attention might be required over the first few weeks post-transport.
     

For further guidance, kindly review our detailed policies on returns and refunds, as well as our comprehensive plant care guide. We appreciate your understanding and patience in nurturing your new plants.
