Ocimum americanum
Tangy and refreshing citrus flavor is the hallmark of this variety. Use it to give gourmet flavor to fish and chicken dishes, vinegars, dressings, sauces, and herb oils. An excellent alternative to hard to find lemongrass in Thai dishes. The complex flavor is a surprising addition to desserts and teas, or our favorite use, in Agua Fresca!
Direct seed or transplant into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Basil will need full sun and well-draining soil. Water well to ensure good germination. Once germinated, basil will need at least an inch of water per week. Typically grown for leaves and flowers. Annual.
