Growth Habit and Planting Instructions Licorice Basil thrives in full sun and requires well-drained, fertile soil. To grow, sow the seeds indoors several weeks before the last frost date or directly in the garden when the soil has warmed. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil moist until germination. Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves, thin them to allow adequate space for growth. Water the plants regularly and apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks to promote healthy growth. Pinch back the flowering tops to encourage a bushier plant and to prolong the harvesting period.
