Basil plants, members of the mint family require 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. They can be grown outdoors once the daytime temperatures are in the 70s°F and night temperatures are above 50°F. While planting basil one should remember it is sensitive to frost and hence it should be sown in late March, after all danger of frost has passed.
