Everleaf Lemon Basil
Growing Everleaf Lemon Basil
‘Everleaf Lemon’ is an open-pollinated basil prized for its bright citrus flavor, upright growth, and exceptionally long harvest season. Compact internodes create a tidy plant, while delayed flowering helps keep the aromatic foliage productive for weeks longer than many standard lemon basils.
Start ‘Everleaf Lemon’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants 6 to 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This variety is well suited to containers and in-ground plantings.
Ready to begin harvesting in about 50 days, snip fresh leaves or stems as needed throughout its extended season.
Bright, citrusy, and versatile, ‘Everleaf Lemon’ is excellent for dressings, marinades, salads, fresh cooking, and drying.
