Description
Lemon basil (Ocimum × citriodorum) is an annual herb with bright green leaves and a distinct lemon fragrance. It grows similarly to sweet basil but offers a citrus twist in flavor. Lemon basil prefers well-drained soil and full sun, reaching heights of 30-60 cm. It’s used in culinary dishes where a hint of citrus complements the flavor profile, such as in salads, seafood, and teas. Like other basils, it can be grown in gardens or containers.
