Ferry Morse Basil-Lemon

Product Description

Annual Herb. Lemony flavor and aroma, a treat in cooking or garden! Lends wonderful flavor to salads, tomato dishes, cheese, omelets and essential for pesto. When you grown your own, you'll have plenty for every recipe.

Start seed indoors near a sunny window 6 weeks before transplanting to the garden. Or, sow in garden in full sun when frost danger is over and ground is warm. Performs best in rows 2 feet apart. Thin or transplant plants 10 inches apart when they are 3 inches tall.

Start to harvest as soon as plants have several branches. Keep picking to produce more shoots and delay flowering. Can dry or freeze leaves for later use, but tastiest when fresh.
