    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.
