Ocimum basilicum x O. americanum. Native to northwest India. This lemon-flavored and scented variety is perfect for use in the kitchen. Use instead of traditional basil varieties to add an additional tang to any dish. Great for teas, chicken, fish, and veggies. Lemon basil grows into this beautiful silvery green bush that adds a bright pop of color to your gardens.
I have used this in pasta and for pesto and both turned out amazing! It's very lemony, and grows well in my kitchen Aerogarden (in pic on the right next to dwark Greek basil, also from MI). I have had such high germination rates with all MI seeds that I often end up with more seedlings than number of seeds I thought I sowed! I generally sow 25% more seeds than my needed quantity to account for duds, but my confidence in MI is pretty high now, that next year I may only do 10% over. Thank you MIgardener team!
I bought these for my kids’ gardens. They loved the glowing yellow leaves, lemony aroma, and thought they tasted good in infused water. They didn’t get very big, which is a plus if growing in containers.
Awesome Basil, great aroma. Prolific and easy to grow.
I mainly grew this as a filler for bouquets and it was my favorite filler this year! It smelled sooo good and looked beautiful with my cut flowers. I am planning on growing at least twice as much next season as I did this year because it did so well.
This basil with genovese makes an amazing pesto!
