UNTREATED AND OPEN POLLINATED SEEDS

Ocimum basilicum x citriodorum

Add a refreshing twist to your herb garden with Lemon Basil seeds. This basil variety is known for its zesty lemon fragrance and tangy, citrus-like flavour. Unlike sweet basil, Lemon Basil has a sharper taste that pairs beautifully with fish, soups, curries, stir-fries, teas and salads.

The plants grow into compact, bushy herbs with light-green leaves and small blooms, making them perfect for both garden beds and containers. A versatile herb that is equally at home in the kitchen, the teacup, or even in potpourris and dried arrangements.

Lemon Basil thrives in warm, tropical climates and requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. In warm climates, the Lemon Basil plant can live as a perennial. Sow in well-drained, fertile loamy or sandy-loam soil enriched with organic compost. Regular watering and pruning encourage lush, bushy growth and prolonged harvests.

Bring fresh aroma, flavour and colour to your kitchen garden with Lemon Basil seeds - a must-grow for herb enthusiasts.
