Bush basil thrives in warm, sunny conditions, requiring consistent moisture but good drainage to prevent root rot, and prefer fertile, well-draining soil with regular watering. Special care includes pinching off the tip to promote bushier growth and frequent harvesting to prevent flowering, which can alter the flavor. Bush basil is relatively easy to grow, making it suitable for novice gardeners.
