Lemon Basil (Ocimum basilicum)
Basil with a hint of lemon!
A refreshing twist on classic basil. Add a lemony kick to your favorite salads and dishes. Lemon basil is best used raw or at the very end of cooking to retain its flavor as much as possible. MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Pinch the terminal shoots of the basil regularly to prevent early bolting.
