Basil - Lemon

Basil but with a twist, a citrussy twist! Lemon Basil (Ocimum citriodorum) is a wonderfully aromatic herb that combines the sweet, spicy flavour of traditional basil with refreshing notes of lemon. Popular in Thai, Indonesian and Vietnamese cuisine, Lemon Basil is prized for its bright citrus fragrance and versatility in the kitchen. Easy to grow in containers, raised beds and herb gardens, Lemon Basil thrives in a warm, sunny position and produces masses of fresh leaves throughout the summer. The attractive green foliage can be harvested regularly for use in curries, stir-fries, salads, seafood dishes, herbal teas and refreshing summer cocktails.
