Lemon Basil Seeds

Lemon basil (Ocimum citriodorum) is a natural hybrid between basil (Ocimum basilicum) and African basil (Ocimum americanum). This variety of basil is primarily grown in northeastern Africa and southern Asia, for its strong fragrant lemon scent popular in the region's traditional dishes.

It is said that "the wise chef has multiple kids of basil growing." Lemon Basil is a staple of any wise chef's herb garden!

Lemon basil has tall stems and white flowers in late summer and early fall. The leaves of Lemon Basil are similar to traditional basil leaves, but tend to be narrower. Seeds form on the plant after flowering and can be left to dry on the plant.

As with all basils, you can also use this basil in the garden as a natural insecticide to repel aphids, mites, and tomato hornworms.
