Hard to keep going over winter I have never had them survive. I brought two in and so far their doing well, one is even flowering.
basil is an annual no matter where its grown.SavinaRed said:I like Rosemary allot and your plant looks healthy . I'm keeping mine small its 2 years old in a 2 gallon container. I keep mine outside year round along with my oregano and thyme . My basil dies so I replant that every spring
I have a potted one i brought into the greenhouse, I think it will winter over in there.dragonsfire said:Thanks!
What about if you use a little poly tent.
Not necessarily - some varieties will overwinter and live for several years if ample light and temperatures are provided. African Blue is one example.Topsmoke said:basil is an annual no matter where its grown.
I'm sure you're right but it wouldn't increase productivity and the plants health would diminish leaving it open to infection or infestation which could spread. I stopped growing blues since they dont reseed but awesome plants. bees go crazy for them.Donnie said:Not necessarily - some varieties will overwinter and live for several years if ample light and temperatures are provided.
