    1. Amanda Dong –

      Good lemony flavour, but it does seem to bolt faster than regular basil, seeds gave good germination rate.

    2. Emily –

      Great germination. Smells great! Grew tall and lasted well into fall.

    3. fwmilmo –

      High germination, very prolific. Smells and tastes amazing! Very lemony 🙂

    4. Darren Lind –

      A superior lemon basil and I love this stuff!

    5. angelfishvintage –

      delicious! and growing like crazy!

    6. kimmcginnis09 –

      Zone 6a – great germination rate, I planted outside at the beginning of June and it’s been doing fine despite the extreme heat we’ve been getting for weeks. I’ve got it in a container which is partially shaded during the hottest part of the day so that may be helping it keep from bolting too. Very fragrant, used in strawberry basil lemonade and it was a HIT!

      Germination rate is excellent. Very tasty. Perfect for desserts.

      These seeds are great!

    12. scenestra –

      germinated well, strong plants, great in my tea mixes

    13. kalauing –

      Good germination and these grew faster than other basil in the same condition. I used them in floral arrangements and they had a long vase life as well as great fragrance. Also harvested leaves for tea. Left a couple for seed, but they weren’t able to set seed before frost so I’ll be ordering more seed.

    14. lamoureux.6697 –

      Very nice flavour and good in pesto. A little different taste. Happy to have these seeds for this summer

    15. lammeri –

      Started this seed as a windowsill plant and it gives off an amazing scent every time I take trimmings. Will be growing this one for many years to come.

    16. lamoureux.6697 –

      First time growing this basil germinated fast. Smells wonderful. Would recommend as addition to other basil.

    17. coleman.christine99 –

      Germination rate was excellent, around 90%. This is the first time trying lemon basil. The flavor is delicious, very citrus-like and delightful scent. In my opinion, it has a completely different taste than your typical genovese Basil. I’ve been adding a few leaves to my chamomile tea and it’s an amazing paring, completely different that chamomile by itself. I will grow this every year! Thanks MIGardener!
