Lemon Basil plants have lemony, aromatic leaves that are best used in various dishes like pasta recipes (pesto and tomato-based) and fish dishes.
Lemon Basil leaves can deter tomato hornworms, asparagus beetles, white flies, mosquitoes, aphids and houseflies making them an excellent companion plant to tomatoes and asparagus.
Lemon Basil can be perennial herb plants, however, for zones colder than zone 9, you'll have to grow them as annual herb plants.
Our Basil plants are organic and grown without pesticides.
