About Tulsi (Flowering)

When growing Holy Basil specifically for its medicinal inflorescences (manjaris/flower spikes), selections optimized for rapid, profuse branching and massive floral biomass are preferred. These flower spikes are highly valued for concentrated essential oils used in premium herbal extractions, requiring larger containers to fuel heavy reproductive growth.
