Tulsi (Holy Basil)

Garden Seeds

Tulsi, also known as holy basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum), is an aromatic herb long valued for its role in traditional wellness and apothecary gardens. Known for its adaptogenic qualities, tulsi is commonly grown for teas and herbal blends that support calm, clarity, and balance.

In the garden, tulsi’s strong aroma helps deter certain pests while attracting pollinators, making it a useful companion plant in mixed beds. It pairs naturally with cannabis and other aromatic herbs, contributing to a more balanced growing environment and a diverse sensory garden.

Easy to grow and fast to establish in warm weather, tulsi thrives during the same season as cannabis, making it a natural fit for growers who enjoy cultivating plants with both practical and traditional value.
