Lemon Basil

Sow seeds 1/4 in deep in warm seed-starting mix at 70°F or above; germination is rapid once soil temperature is adequate. Transplant into rich, well-drained garden soil in full sun and pinch the growing tip early to encourage a bushy, multi-stemmed plant. Lemon basil is compact compared to sweet basil and has a distinct citrus fragrance from the presence of citral; it pairs well with fish, poultry, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Harvest by snipping stems just above a leaf pair once plants are well established, and pinch flower buds promptly to extend the harvest season. Спосіб посадки: Посів на розсаду вдома Відстань між рослинами: 12–18 дюймів Висота: 12–20 дюймів Дні до схожості: 5–10 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 18–29°C
