Does she look ok? Nice thick stalk but seems like its taking a while to increase in height although it has since I've transplanted about 1 month ago. No flowering yet. 7b

It looks fine. Husky Cherry Red always does well in my garden. NE Texas.
great color, lots of foliage, basil friend… looks wonderful to me!
I have one that I bought in Florida. It was already a good size with a nice thick stem and I have had it indoors under lights since end of March. It has grown while indoors and is already flowering again after I pinched off the initial flowers. I plan to harden and plant outside within the next 10 days.
Can I ask what size container you have yours in? I think yours looks nice and healthy. I have read they can still grow to over 5 feet despite being a dwarf variety.
Looks fine to me. They’re pretty compact, and not the earliest.
For me, they’ll get about 3′ tall, maybe 4″ and roughly 3′ wide. Very productive for the overall size of the plant, and eating quality is good. I normally don’t mess with anything other than full-blown indeterminates, but Husky Cherry Red is one that I actually like & will grow from time to time (good one for squeezing a few more plants into random spots)
