The Holy Basil Plant Is A Small Annual Or Short-Lived Perennial Shrub, Up To 1 Metre (3.3 Feet) In Height. The Stems Are Hairy And Bear Simple Toothed Or Entire Leaves Oppositely Along The Stem. The Fragrant Leaves Are Green Or Purple, Depending On The Variety. Use A Light, Well-Draining Soil That Is Enriched With Organic Material, Although Holy Basil Will Tolerate Poor Soil Fairly Well. Your Plant Will Also Tolerate Some Shade, So Full Sun Is Not Necessary. Keep It Watered But Not Soggy And Harvest Leaves As Needed, Just As You Would With An Ordinary Sweet Basil Plant.
