Thai - Organic Basil Seeds
🚚 FREE SHIPPING for all orders over $79!
Thai basil (often sold as Siam Queen) holds its anise-licorice punch through cooking, so it shines in curries, pho, and savory stir fries. Dark purple stems and violet blooms add color while compact plants stay tidy in pots or beds.
Originating in Southeast Asia, it prefers the same conditions as sweet basil—warm soil, good drainage, and frequent pinching to delay flowering. Flowers lure pollinators, but leaves are best before bloom for full flavor. A source of antioxidants and essential oils, Thai basil pulls double duty as kitchen staple and pollinator magnet.
Every order is packed with care by our small team in Pennsylvania and typically ships within 2–3 business days—often by the next business day. We ship throughout the United States using USPS and UPS.
Unopened items may be returned within 30 days of delivery. If an order arrives damaged, incomplete, or incorrect, please contact us so we can make it right.
We stand behind every packet we sell. Our seeds are carefully selected, tested for germination, untreated, and guaranteed to be true to variety.
Your seeds are covered for one year from the date of purchase. If they fail to germinate under reasonable growing conditions, arrive damaged, or do not grow true to type, contact us and we’ll make it right with a replacement, store credit, or refund.
Plant seeds directly into the garden starting 1-2 weeks after average last frost date, when air temperature is above 65°f. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-80°f. Or, start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Transplant to the garden 1-2 weeks after your average last frost date. You can keep plants from bolting by pinching back their flower stalks.

Our Thai Basil from Bucktown Seed Co germinated well and is growing wonderfully. It's our second year getting herbs from Bucktown seeds and we've only had success. We're already harvesting some others planted early spring.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Peter! We're thrilled to hear that your Thai Basil has germinated well and is thriving. It's fantastic to know that you've had consistent success with our herbs for the second year in a row, and we hope you continue to enjoy the bountiful harvest of your early spring plantings. Happy harvesting and happy gardening!
