Does anyone know where I can get Thai basil seeds for planting? Central, Sheung Wan or CWB areas please. Thanks

Have never seen seeds. Then again, you can buy some plants. The seeds are there when you see the "flowers". They are little black things if memory serves.

Thanks, have tried plants before, but they always died or these little bugs all over them! Plus they're WAY overpriced. That's why I wanted to try planting seeds hoping it'll survive. I might have to get them from overseas. Cheers

Is it easy to grow as I can't find Basil anywhere .. or its REALLY expensive.

Capital, provided you water it, feed it fertiliser occasionally and make sure it gets a little bit of sunlight, it should grow like a weed.
kaileyb, I head out to flower St in Mongkok for all my seeds. Well worth the trip.
A word of warning, don't plant mint! It's overtaking my balcony, despite being viciously hacked back every 2 weeks.
If anyone is after seedlings pop me a memo, I've propagated waaaay too many tomato, basil, thyme and chilli plants from seed.

Quite. Also remove the flowers when they appear, or it will start going a bit "wooden". And makes sure it gets PLENTY of water.
