When Does Basil Flower
When does basil flower
With a proper watering schedule and routine, lots and lots of sunshine, and left to its own devices (aka: not harvested regularly to encourage it to keep growing), your basil plant will flower, producing lovely white or purple basil flowers on the plant, before going to seed.
Should you let basil flower?
If you are cultivating basil strictly for its leaves, it is best to remove the flowers. Pinching basil blooms back will allow all of the plant's energy to stay focused on foliage production, creating a bushier plant with more leaves and maintaining higher levels of essential oils in the leaves.
How long does it take for basil to flower?
How long does it take for basil to grow from seed? Basil germinates in 7 to 10 days after planting. It's usually ready for harvest within 3 to 4 weeks.
