Take 4–6 in stem cuttings, remove lower leaves, and root in moist perlite or water; transplant once a vigorous root system develops. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun after all frost danger has passed; in zones below 10, treat as a long-season annual or overwinter rooted cuttings indoors under grow lights. Because this sterile hybrid never sets seed, it flowers continuously throughout the season — a great benefit for pollinators — without the bolting problem common to culinary basil. Harvest stem tips freely; the camphor-scented, dark-veined foliage is used in cooked dishes and infused oils.
