An heirloom basil with a lemony scent and taste. This strain is productive and uniform. Strong upright plants are less leggy than common italian basil. Harvest regularly to avoid flowering and it will provide all season long. Pair with grilled fish, risotto or use fresh in a salad. Lemon basil makes a great simple syrup for cocktails too. If left to flower, many pollinators will visit! This heirloom is from southern New Mexico.
