Basil Mrs. Burns Lemon is a premium lemon basil variety celebrated for its balanced sweet-tangy profile and ornamental garden presence. This heirloom produces vibrant green foliage with substantial 2.5-inch leaves complemented by delicate white blooms, creating visual interest while delivering intense basil-citrus flavor complexity. Reaching approximately 24 inches at maturity, Mrs. Burns Lemon establishes a substantial plant suitable for dedicated herb beds, large containers, and landscape integration. The variety's dual-harvest potential—both leaves and edible flowers—maximizes culinary applications and extends productivity throughout the growing season. White flowers deliver the same concentrated basil-citrus notes as the foliage, making them exceptional garnishes for beverages, salads, soups, pasta dishes, and desserts. Each packet contains 200 Non-GMO, heirloom seeds with germination rates of 80% or better, ensuring reliable plant establishment and consistent vigor. Harvestable foliage develops in approximately 70 days, allowing mid-season culinary applications. The variety thrives in warm, sunny conditions where it maintains steady growth and continuous leaf production. Mrs. Burns Lemon is indispensable for culinary professionals and serious home gardeners seeking sophisticated citrus-herb profiles. The variety excels in seafood preparations, dessert applications, craft cocktails, and Asian-inspired cuisine where lemon basil's distinctive character elevates complex flavor compositions. Our sustainably sourced seeds arrive in eco-conscious, fully recyclable packaging designed to preserve seed viability while minimizing environmental impact.
