Grower's Notes: Great mosquito-repelling plant. Plant in pots on decks to deter mosquitos. Readily self-seeds. Tulsi (Holy Basil) is revered in Ayurveda for its extensive medicinal properties. The plant has a wide range of beneficial qualities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticholinergic, pain-relieving, antimicrobial, stress-reducing, liver-protectant, ulcer-inhibiting, antifungal, mosquito-repellant and wound-healing attributes.  Our parent plant seed was originally purchased from Strictly Medicinal, LLC.
