Organic Basil Lemon
Perfect for cooking, scenting indoor arrangements, and making sachets and potpourri.
The overall plant habit of Lemon Basil is a bit more compact than most other Basils, and the individual leaves are smaller as well. The plant grows readily in any sun-soaked soil or container, and benefits from several pinches during its early months. To extend the harvest, you may want to pinch off the first blooms as they bud out too. Begin picking this plant in midsummer and continue right up to frost!
Reaching 18 to 24 inches high and 15 to 18 inches wide, Lemon Basil is ideal for containers as well as the garden. If left unpinched it will set white flowers in late summer and autumn, followed by plentiful seeds that will self-sow. And with our Certified Organic seed, you can be assured of growing only the best, most natural Lemon Basil, just the way Mother Nature intended! Pkt is 100 seeds.
