Sowing

Timing: Plant French basil seeds indoors or in a warm, sheltered area when the temperatures consistently reach around 70-80°F (21-27°C).
Soil Preparation: Use well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Ensure the soil is loose and fertile.
Sowing Method: Sow the seeds in small pots or trays filled with potting mix about 1/4 inch deep. Cover lightly with soil and water gently.
Temperature and Sunlight: Place the pots in a sunny location or under grow lights. French basil prefers warmth and sunlight for optimal growth.
Transplanting: Once the seedlings have grown several sets of true leaves and the outdoor conditions are suitable, transplant them into larger containers or the garden, spacing them about 8-12 inches apart.
Maintenance: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Pinch off the top leaves when the plant is about 6 inches tall to encourage bushy growth. Fertilize occasionally with a balanced fertilizer.
Harvesting: Harvest the leaves when they're large enough to use. Regularly prune the plant to encourage continuous growth and prevent flowering, which can affect the flavor of the leaves.
