Ocimum basilicum. This variety was grown since the 1950's in southeastern New Mexico by the mother of NS/S co-founder Barney Burns. It is an Old World introduction and readily self-seeds. Amazing lemon flavor and very versatile. Heat and drought tolerant. One of our best sellers and a staff favorite! From our Seed-Bank Collection.

Germinaion rate 0% - its the only basil that didn't work for me. Will try again with monson directly in the garden.

Outstanding.
It takes the sun’s summer heat well and tastes wonderful. I’m sharing seedlings with my neighbors, who agree with me.
