Lemon Basil

Exciting Additions

A new and zesty addition to our herb range: Lemon Basil

Prepare to refresh your senses with our latest release: Lemon Basil (Ocimum basilicum). As champions of exceptional herbs and aromatics, we are delighted to introduce this vibrant variety!

Lemon Basil represents a delightful fusion of tradition and innovation, offering a refreshing twist on a beloved classic. Its leaves, narrower than those of sweet basil, display a vibrant green hue with a slightly glossy texture. It has a more elongated shape and a lighter green underside.

But it’s the aroma that truly sets Lemon Basil apart. It has citrus notes, accompanied by the familiar peppery sweetness of traditional basil.

Lemon Basil leaves are available throughout the growing season. Simply pinch off the tops to encourage continual growth.

Whether used to brighten up salads, infuse oils, or garnish cocktails, Lemon Basil adds a burst of flavour and freshness to any dish. A great addition to your herb garden.
