The 8" Basil Tower is a living sweet basil plant grown in a tall, columnar tower form and potted in an 8-inch container. Basil towers are cultivated to grow upright and full, providing a lush, abundant harvest of fresh basil leaves for culinary use. This garden-ready plant arrives already established, making it easy to transplant into a larger outdoor container or garden bed.

Sweet basil thrives in full sun with at least six hours of direct light per day and prefers well-draining soil kept consistently moist. Regular harvesting by pinching back the tips encourages bushy, productive growth and delays flowering. The compact tower form is ideal for patio gardens, raised beds, or windowsill herb gardens, and provides a season-long supply of fresh basil for cooking, sauces, and garnishes.
