Krishna Tulsi has a stronger, spicier, clove like flavour than Rama Tulsi and is traditionally grown around homes and temples in India. Highly regarded in Ayurvedic practice, it has long been used as a tonic herb associated with supporting the immune system, respiratory health, digestion, and the nervous system. Leaves can be used fresh in teas, added sparingly to salads, or used medicinally. Grown primarily for its therapeutic and spiritual value, it is also an attractive and aromatic garden plant.

Planting / Sowing
Sow seed shallowly onto well drained soil in a warm, sunny position and press in lightly, as light aids germination. Keep soil evenly moist during germination. Space plants 30 to 40 cm apart. Suitable for garden beds or pots and can also be grown indoors in bright light. Regular tip pruning encourages bushy growth and continual leaf production.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
