Easy for all to grow, zesty Basil 'Lemonade' will add a sherbet lemon twist to your summer salads and pasta dishes. Plants produce an abundance of glossy, aromatic foliage with a sensational taste! Basil �Lemonade� is a useful annual herb producing attractive bushy plants with a neat, compact habit. This is an ideal variety for growing outdoors, where plants show outstanding tolerance of our changeable British summers, remaining disease-free through to the end of summer.

Sow basil seed from February to June, or sow throughout the year for indoor cultivation out of season. Sow seed on the surface of free draining seed compost and cover with a light sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at a temperature of 15-25C (59-77F) or seal the container inside a polythene bag until after germination, which takes 14-21 days. Keep the compost slightly dry at all times, watering very lightly as seedlings emerge. When they are large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots and grow basil plants on in cooler conditions.
