Growing Tips for Sunshine Coast Gardens Sweet Basil loves the Queensland climate. Plant in full sun with well-drained, rich soil. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Pinch the tops regularly to encourage bushy growth and delay flowering. In the warmer months on the Sunshine Coast, basil grows very quickly — harvest often for best flavour.
