Basil Lime is a distinctive culinary herb that infuses dishes with bright citrus notes and authentic basil depth. This compact variety produces vibrant green leaves measuring approximately 2 inches, reaching a mature height of 16 to 20 inches—ideal for container growing, kitchen gardens, and space-conscious plantings. The defining characteristic of Lime basil is its zesty citrus aroma, which elevates fish preparations, fresh salads, and beverage applications with sophisticated flavor complexity. The variety's edible flowers deliver concentrated basil and citrus notes, making them valuable garnishes for drinks, soups, pasta dishes, and desserts. This dual-harvest potential—leaves and flowers—maximizes productivity from a single compact plant. Each packet contains 25 Non-GMO, heirloom seeds with germination rates of 80% or better, ensuring reliable establishment and consistent plant vigor. Harvestable foliage develops in approximately 70 days, allowing gardeners to begin culinary applications mid-season. The variety performs well in warm, sunny conditions where it maintains steady growth and continuous leaf production. Lime basil is essential for cooks exploring herbaceous flavor profiles beyond traditional sweet basil, particularly those working with seafood, Asian-inspired cuisine, and craft cocktails. Our sustainably sourced seeds arrive in eco-conscious, fully recyclable packaging designed to minimize environmental impact while preserving seed viability and germination potential.
