Needless to say it worked! I also tried to plant some other seeds I had ordered off of Amazon and they didn't work but these already sprouted quickly. Unfortunately there hasn't been that many sprouts but I'm hoping it will spread and grow more. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1000% germination rate *by on Reviewed in the United States June 30, 2026* Seeds sprouted quickly. Will only need to buy once. These plants reseed themselves very easily for future years. ### ⭐ No luck on growing the *by on Reviewed in the United States June 17, 2026* Very disappointed in this, I put these in some biodegradable seat cups, and tried to propagate alongside other similar plants. None of these came up. I planted some traditional basil just in an open bed and that excelled, but this was not viable. For some reason I had high hopes, but they were dashed. ## Frequently Bought Together - Survival Garden Seeds - Holy Basil Seed for Planting - Packet with Instructions to Plant and Grow The Indian Sacred Herb Tulsi in Your Home Vegetable Garden - Non-GMO Heirloom Variety - Indian Herb - Sow Right Seeds - Sweet Large Leaf Thai Basil Seed for Planting - Non-GMO Heirloom Packet with Instructions to Plant a Kitchen Herb Garden - Indoors or Outdoor - Great for Hydroponic Growing (1) - Survival Garden Seeds - Thai Pepper Seed for Planting - 1 Packet with Instructions to Plant & Grow Spicy Hot Bird's Eye Chili Peppers in Your Home Vegetable Garden - Non-GMO Heirloom Variety --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/388643818-holy-basil-seed-for-planting-survival-garden-seeds-1-pack](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/388643818-holy-basil-seed-for-planting-survival-garden-seeds-1-pack) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
