Basil variety with long, lance-shaped light green leaves, featuring a distinctive lemon flavor and aroma.

Seed packet size

Lemon basil is a hybrid between common basil (Ocimum basilicum) and an African basil (Ocimum americanum). This variety is prized for its lemon aroma and flavor, with long, thin leaves that are consumed fresh to enhance dishes.

It is mainly cultivated in Northwest Africa and South Asia, where it is used in Arab, Indonesian (known as kemangi), Persian, Thai, and Laotian cuisine, which is why it is sometimes called Lao basil.

How to sow lemon basil seeds

Sowing is straightforward: use seed trays or small pots with moist substrate. Optionally, you can soak the seeds in water for a few hours to speed up hydration.

Spread the seeds on the surface and cover them with a thin layer of substrate, just a few millimeters, and mist with water. They require around 20 °C to germinate, so provide external heat or place them in a bright spot indoors, avoiding direct sunlight. You can also sow them outdoors and cover with plastic as a mini-greenhouse to maintain suitable temperature and humidity.
