HOLY BASIL (OCIMUM SANCTUM) TULSI/TULASI. CLONED CUTTINGS (ROOTED IN SOIL)

Description: PLEASE NOTE THAT I PREFER NOT TO SHIP TO HAWAII, PUERTO RICO OR INTERNATIONALLY DUE TO THE RISK OF THE PLANT NOT SURVIVING THE JOURNEY. IF YOU WISH TO COVER THE COST OF EXPEDITED SHIPPING YOU CAN MESSAGE ME PRIOR TO BIDDING OR MAKING THE PURCHASE SO THAT WE CAN DISCUSS EXPEDITED SHIPPING OPTIONS BUT I CAN NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR LOSSES DUE TO USPS OR OTHER SHIPPING CARRIER SERVICES THAT DO NOT DELIVER ON TIME RESULTING IN THE DEATH OF YOUR SEEDLING(S) I make every effort to ship plants as soon as payment is received. I do not provide hot packs so be mindful of cold temperatures in your area. This evergreen herb generally tolerates mild cooler temperatures no lower than 60 F when fully mature. If you are in colder zones you may want to wait at the mailbox if you order if you don't want your plant to freeze!! I ship all of my plants via USPS 2 to 5 day delivery but unfortunately, sometimes the postal service does not deliver on time and packages do sometimes get lost. Unfortunately, this is something that is out of my control. If your plant arrives damaged beyond saving, please message me with pictures of your plant still secured in the box so that I may address the problem as soon as possible. There is no need to leave negative feedback as I always try to answer questions or concerns in a very timely basis, sometimes within minutes of being messaged. Your satisfaction is my greatest concern and I will do everything possible to make things right. I am a gardener first, seller second. I want the best for my customers and will do the best I can to ensure satisfaction. HOLY BASIL (OCIMUM SANCTUM/TULSI) IS ALSO KNOWN AS TULASI. IT IS A VERY TOUGH HERBAL PLANT FROM THE MINT (LAMIACEAE) FAMILY THAT CAN GROW LIKE A WEED IF LEFT UNCHECKED. THIS HERB IS REVERED AND VALUED FOR ITS AROMATIC LEAVES WHICH HAS BEEN WIDELY USED IN SACRED RITUALS, FOLK AND AYURVEDIC MEDICINE. IT IS ALSO VERY POPULAR FOR IT'S CULINARY VALUE AS A FLAVORING/SEASONING HERB WITH A FLAVOR SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO COMMON COOKING BASIL BUT WITH A MORE SPICY, PUNGENT TASTE THAT CARRIES A HINT OF LEMON AND CLOVES. AGRICULTURALLY IT IS CONSIDERED AN INVASIVE WEED WHICH IS A MAJOR REASON WHY IT IS SO RESILIENT TO ADVERSE CONDITIONS AND IS SO EASY TO PROPAGATE. CLIMATE: HOLY BASIL IS WELL ADOPTED TO MANY TYPES OF WARM TO HOT CLIMATES INCLUDING TROPICAL, SUBTROPICAL, MEDITERRANEAN, AND TEMPERATE CLIMATES. IT'S NATIVE RANGE IS TROPICAL WHERE TEMPERATURES THAT AVERAGE 70F OR HIGHER IS OPTIMAL FOR OUTDOOR SURVIVAL AS A PERENNIAL. THE USDA RECOMMENDS GROWING HOLY BASIL IN ZONES 10B TO 11 WHERE IT CAN BE GROWN AS A PERENNIAL BUT THIS PLANT CAN BE CONTAINER GROWN IN WINTER CLIMATES AS AN ANNUAL IN ZONES 5-10. GROWING YOUR PLANT IN A CONTAINER WILL ALLOW YOU TO MOVE YOUR PLANT INDOORS IN THE COLDER MONTHS. ANOTHER OPTION WOULD BE A WARM SUNNY WINDOW IF YOU ARE IN A COLDER HARDINESS ZONE.
