Germinaion rate 0% - its the only basil that didn't work for me. Will try again with monson directly in the garden.

Outstanding.

It takes the sun’s summer heat well and tastes wonderful. I’m sharing seedlings with my neighbors, who agree with me.

Makes a beautiful tea

Growing well and strong, even in the bug infested swamp we used to call Tucson ;) it’s very nice mixed with green tea and a little honey. Just tear the leaves up a bit and add it to the cup while you’re infusing.

The best!

Usually I can't get anything to grow but these seeds produced beautiful plants! They grow really fast so I always have delicious tasting basil when I need it. I would highly recommend Mrs. Burns lemon basil seeds from native seeds.
