Everleaf Lemon
Basil Seeds
Everleaf Lemon is the first lemon basil bred with multiple harvests in mind. Upright, densely branched plants grow 24-36 in. tall and 8-12 in. wide, and are ready for harvest within 45 days from seed. Expect multiple later harvests throughout summer and into fall, because plants take months longer than other lemon basils to start producing flowers. Everleaf Lemon basil adds a bright citrusy aroma and flavor to salad dressings, marinades, and pesto. Plant in large pots, raised garden beds, or directly in the ground.
Growing Everleaf Lemon Basil Seeds
Plant Basil Seeds: Direct sow into the garden after all danger of frost. Plant seed ¼ in. deep, 2-3 seeds per inch, in rows 18 in. apart. Firm the soil well over the seeds. Thinning is not necessary. Can be started indoors in cell packs or flats 6 weeks prior to setting out. Kept at 70°F., germination is in 5-10 days.
Grow Basil: Basil prefers warm weather and is very sensitive to cold. Removing flowers and pinching taller stems will result in bushier plants that produce more leaves and better flavor. Removing leaves from basil plants helps promote growth. Some basils may die back after blooming. Basil is often companion planted with tomatoes.
