BASIL, Everleaf Lemon

Lemon basil boasts a pronounced citrus flavour, with an aroma that highlights lemon notes reminiscent of lemon balm, complemented by basil undertones. The upright plants yield a generous harvest and thrive in the ground herb gardens. With its upright growth habit, it’s particularly well-suited for container gardening. Everleaf Lemon flowers up to eight weeks later than traditional lemon basils. This late-blooming herb brings vibrant lemon flavour to your dishes throughout the season. Best enjoyed fresh, it enhances salads, vinaigrettes, marinades, beverages, vegetables, seafood, and poultry. Beneficial for pollinators.
