Before you compare prices

A cheaper listing is only a better deal if it is the plant you want. Check these three things.

The right plant
Match the botanical name and variety. Similar common names can mean different plants.
Size & form
Seeds, cuttings, bare-root or potted? Check the size and quantity too.
The total cost
Add shipping and tax. Check whether it’s in stock or a preorder.
Plant terms, in plain English

Bare-root: a plant sent without a pot or soil around its roots.

Potted: a plant growing in a container. Check its height as well as pot size.

Cutting: a piece of a plant. Check whether it already has roots or needs rooting.

Preorder: order now for a later delivery window. Check the nursery’s timing.

Buying basil

Where is the cheapest place to buy basil?

The lowest tracked in-stock price is $2.69 at Botanical Interests. Sold-out sizes are excluded from these orderable prices. Shipping and tax are extra.

How much does basil cost?

Tracked listing prices range from $2.69 to $19.99 across 26 priced listings, including sold-out listings. Compare the variety, plant size and product form shown in each listing. A lower item price does not necessarily mean a lower delivered cost.

When is the best time to buy basil?

Compare current stock with your local planting or sowing season. Check the product form, delivery window and growing requirements before ordering.

Has the price of basil changed?

The line chart shows the lowest tracked orderable price at each nursery on recorded days, or its lowest sold-out price when none was orderable. Line styling distinguishes in-stock, preorder and sold-out readings. Older aggregate-only readings are labeled when availability was not recorded; gaps mean no reading. A line can change when the available size or variety changes.

Do you sell basil?

No. Story Thyme Farms sells botanical prints, not plants. Prices belong to third-party nurseries. We may earn a commission through a link; that does not change which listings appear or how they are ranked.
