Bright Citrus Flavor with Lemon Aroma
Lemon Basil (Ocimum × citriodorum) is a distinctive variety prized for its bright, lemony aroma and flavor that combines classic basil notes with refreshing citrus. This aromatic herb features light green, slightly serrated leaves with a pronounced lemon scent that's released when touched or crushed. With its unique citrus-basil flavor profile, Lemon Basil brings a delightful twist to fish dishes, salads, teas, and desserts, making it perfect for both savory and sweet culinary applications.

Light green foliage – Slightly serrated leaves with lighter color than sweet basil varieties
Versatile culinary uses – Perfect for fish, chicken, salads, teas, fruit dishes, and desserts
Compact growth habit – Smaller than sweet basil, ideal for containers and small-space gardens
Heat-loving annual – Thrives in warm weather and produces abundantly all summer
Culinary & Growing Tips
Lemon Basil is perfect for fish and seafood dishes, chicken, pasta salads, and fresh teas where its bright citrus flavor adds refreshing depth. Use fresh leaves to infuse simple syrups, flavor lemonade, or garnish fruit salads and desserts. The lemon-basil combination complements Mediterranean and Asian cuisines beautifully. Add to dishes at the end of cooking to preserve the delicate citrus aroma. Plant in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. The compact size makes it ideal for containers on patios and windowsills. Pinch back growing tips regularly to encourage bushy growth and delay flowering. Water consistently and fertilize regularly for maximum production.
