Description

The citrus-scented basil that brightens both garden and kitchen. ‘Lemon Basil’ releases a vibrant lemon fragrance from every leaf, its crisp flavor pairing beautifully with fish, fruit, and summer drinks. Each plant forms bushy, compact mounds of bright green leaves with delicate white flowers that hum with visiting bees.

Growing 18–24 inches tall, it thrives in warm, sunny locations and rewards frequent pinching with lush, aromatic growth. Its zesty flavor stands out fresh or dried, adding a clean, tangy lift to sauces, teas, and desserts.

This long-cherished hybrid has been prized across Asia for its perfume and flavor. A lively, refreshing variety that captures the scent of sunlight and summer air in every harvest.
