AnnualOcimum basilicum. Lime basil is a vibrant, aromatic herb known for its bright green leaves and distinct citrusy fragrance and flavor. This unique variety of basil adds a refreshing twist to traditional basil, making it perfect for enhancing the taste of salads, seafood, salsas, and cocktails. It pairs well with lemon basil for a full, zesty flavor. Lime basil is a delightful addition to any herb garden, offering both culinary and ornamental value.
I grew lime basil for the first time in 2024 and absolutely loved it! I used with fruit, steeped it to make coconut lime basil ice cream (phenomenal!), dried it for tea, and used it for flavored water. It is versatile, easy to grow and very flavorful.
Love this basil. So good in cucumber salad.
There was plenty of seeds in the packet, I have enough left for many many more plantings to come.
I've been growing this variety for years and love pairing it with Sun Gold tomatoes. Few leaves of lime basil with one tomato, pure bliss.
I love the smell and taste of this variety of basil. I add it to water, I add it to chicken and I add it to fresh flower bouquets!
very unique scent and flavor

I grew only a few seeds, but they came up fine, and I was able to get some delicious, sweet melon! I sprayed it once with a copper fungicide, and I should have done it a second time, but I still go melons. (I have a struggle with fungal problems here). Easy to grow, easy to eat!
This stuff feed my garden all summer. Highly recommend
This was one of my first tomatoes from MIgardener seed and I loved it so much. Very tasty green tomato, and even though it was only in a smallish container, it was one of my best producers! Nice clusters (not quite so big and dense as the photo, for me at least...) and great flavor for eating fresh in the garden. I'm not the best with tomatoes, I don't treat them as well as I should, and I grow in Seattle (8b?) which is finicky weather every year, so I was surprised these did so well! Will definitely grow again. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures saved on the vine, but the little green one in the attached photo is one of them!
Love sales. Time to stock up
Pollinators love this flower. Especially honey bees.
They grew in spring then reseeded themselves for fall.
