Description LIMONCHIK
Lemon basil is an annual plant distinguished by its bright lemon aroma and spicy flavor. The plant height varies from 35 to 70 cm, leaves are elongated, covered with small hairs, and the entire aerial part contains essential oils that give the herb a characteristic lemon scent. This basil is rich in mineral salts and vitamins A, C, P, as well as B-group vitamins, making it not only fragrant but also a useful condiment.

Lemon basil is widely used in cooking both fresh and dried. It is added to salads, sauces, meat and fish dishes, and also used for flavoring drinks, cheeses, canning, and pickling vegetables. Thanks to its unique taste, which first shows a slight bitterness and then a sweetish tint, it gives dishes a special zest. The plant is also suitable for growing on the windowsill, allowing you to have fresh greens all year round.

For successful growing of lemon basil, it is recommended to plant it in light, fertile soils with a high content of humus. The culture is heat-loving, sun-loving, and demanding regarding moisture. Seeds are sown at the end of March – beginning of April at a depth of 0.5-1 cm at a temperature of 20-25 degrees, seedlings appear within 10-15 days. Seedlings are transplanted into open ground after frost with a distance between plants of 15-20 cm in a row and 60 cm between rows. Care includes regular watering, loosening the soil, weeding, and feeding with organic and mineral fertilizers twice during the season.
