Lemon - Organic Basil Seeds
🚚 FREE SHIPPING for all orders over $79!
Lemon basil hits with a clean citrus snap over classic basil sweetness—ideal for iced teas, pesto twists, grilled fish, and summer fruit salads. Plants stay compact (around 20–24 inches), branching well if you pinch early and often. This Southeast Asian type thrives in heat, good drainage, and regular moisture; stress makes leaves bitter.
Harvest in the morning for peak essential oils and use fresh to keep the lemon note bright. Flower spikes draw bees, but let them open only after you’ve had your fill of leaves. Dry some for winter blends, and you’ll remember July every time you open the jar.
Every order is packed with care by our small team in Pennsylvania and typically ships within 2–3 business days—often by the next business day. We ship throughout the United States using USPS and UPS.
Unopened items may be returned within 30 days of delivery. If an order arrives damaged, incomplete, or incorrect, please contact us so we can make it right.
We stand behind every packet we sell. Our seeds are carefully selected, tested for germination, untreated, and guaranteed to be true to variety.
Your seeds are covered for one year from the date of purchase. If they fail to germinate under reasonable growing conditions, arrive damaged, or do not grow true to type, contact us and we’ll make it right with a replacement, store credit, or refund.
Plant seeds directly into the garden starting 1-2 weeks after average last frost date, when air temperature is above 65°f. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-80°f. Or, start seed indoors 3-5 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Transplant to the garden 1-2 weeks after your average last frost date. You can keep plants from bolting by pinching back their flower stalks.
