Ocimum, Basil 'Lemon' Organic Heirloom
- Sun Preference
- Full-Sun
Description
A tasty variation on sweet basil, with a refreshing lemony flavor that complements fish, fruit salads, and Thai cuisine. Very easy to grow.
Plant in a warm, sunny location with rich, moist soil in late spring. Basil loves heat and does not begin vigorous growth until night and day temperatures have warmed. Start indoors four weeks before last spring frost date. Cut individual stems as needed. Pinch back flower stalk to improve production. May be dried or frozen for later use.
Botanical Name: Ocimum basilicum citriodorum
