A narrow leaf basil native to Southeast Asia with a delightfully strong aroma and lemony flavor. Delicious with fish, chicken, and in salad dressings. Flowering stalks can be added to bouquets to lend a wonderful lemony fragrance. A smaller leaf variety, reaching 15” tall.
Plant basil in full sun in soil that is amended with compost and a high nitrogen fertilizer for the most vigorous leafy growth. It may also be planted in a container using fresh potting soil, and feed regularly with a liquid high nitrogen fertilizer.
Harvest basil by pinching off entire stems just above the branches. Fertilize every few weeks with a liquid, high nitrogen fertilizer to encourage more leafy growth. Keeping the flowers cut back will also encourage leafy growth.
