Lemon Basil brings a clean, revitalising lemon scent to seafood, soups, salads and stir‑fries, and it’s brilliant in drinks too — infuse it into lemonade or iced tea for a refreshing herbal twist. Plants form neat mounds of aromatic foliage and may produce flowers from July onwards; pinch these out to prolong harvesting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis half‑hardy annual thrives in full sun or a warm greenhouse. Sow on the surface of moist compost and cover lightly; germination takes 14–21 days. Once established, plants reach around 40cm tall and are ready to harvest from around 10 weeks.
