Fresh,
Tangy Citrus Flavor!
Both
the foliage and the seeds have a crisp, fresh lemon scent!
Basils
are loaded with volatile oils, responsible for the heady aroma and
strong flavor so essential to cooking. The composition of oils varies
greatly in different basil types, thus accounting for the wide range of
scents available. AAS winner Basil 'Lemon Sweet Dani' offers a different
scent - pure, clean, citrus-lemon. Pick the leaves and use fresh or
dried in herb vinegars, fish, vegetables and soups. You can also use
basil in the garden as a companion plant to repel aphids, mites, and
tomato hornworms.
This upright, bushy
cultivars grows 26 inches high
and 10 to 14 inches wide. The narrow, ovate, light green leaves reach 2
inches long. Small terminal racemes of white flowers are followed by
lemon-scented seeds.
Grow in a rich, well-drained soil in full sun.
Pinch out growing tips to encourage bushier plants and to delay
flowering.
