Lime Basil Seeds – Unique Citrus Flavored Basil Variety
Ocimum basilicum
Listing is for 1 packet minimum of 50 seeds
Lime Basil is a fragrant and zesty twist on classic basil, prized for its bright citrus aroma and refreshing lime flavor. This unique variety is perfect for adding a burst of flavor to salsas, fruit salads, seafood dishes, herbal teas, or lime-infused pestos. The compact plants produce tender green leaves that thrive in full sun and warm weather. To grow successfully, sow seeds in well-drained soil after the danger of frost has passed, and pinch back regularly to encourage bushy growth and prevent flowering. Whether you're cooking, mixing drinks, or making herbal remedies, Lime Basil adds a deliciously unexpected layer of flavor to your garden and kitchen.

Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
Orders with live plants are packed on Mondays and Thursdays (excluding holidays or delays because of natural disasters. Plants are shipped in boxes with packaging material to protect them while they are in transit.
No returns or refunds once shipped. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages caused by USPS. Since there are so many factors that affect germination and growing success, no refunds or exchanges are allowed once seeds have shipped. These are the same seeds I use in my personal garden so I can attest to their viability. Seeds are fresh season to season.
