The MayFord Lemon Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a fast-growing, highly aromatic herb, widely appreciated for its culinary versatility and fresh citrus scent. It is best sown in seed trays, ensuring a sowing depth of 3 mm, and requires consistent moisture for successful germination.
Seedlings should be transplanted at 50 cm intervals, with a final plant height of 20–40 cm, ensuring strong growth and abundant leaves. Pressing down the soil after sowing enhances root establishment, while regular watering supports early development.
Harvesting can begin when plants are young, providing fresh lemon basil leaves throughout the season. To preserve the delicate flavor and aroma, it is best added at the end of cooking.
