A low-fuss herb with a zesty kick! Heady and delicious notes of citrus. Sometimes called 'hoary basil', this variety is medicinal, with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properti es. Pop it in partial shade with well-drained soil, and water just enough to keep it happy, and it will grow 1-2 feet tall. Snip often to tame its wild side—it can spread fast! Mulch for winter coziness. Bonus: its lemony leaves soothe stress, help you sleep, and ease tummy woes. Brew a tea or try a tincture for its antiviral properties. Pair with our gold-leaf lemon balm for a great color combo!
