The first lemon basil bred for season-long harvest. Flowers up to 8 weeks later than standard lemon basils. This upright variety has a bright lemon flavour – perfect for adding to dressings, marinades and salads. Performs well in-ground and in containers. National Garden Bureau Green Thumb Winner. Flowers up to 10 to 12 weeks later than standard Thai basil with huge harvest potential. Well-branched variety with short internodes makes a beautiful, columnar plant that stays tidy for many uses, including in- ground, container gardens and hydroponics. Aromatic and vibrant licorice flavour complements any dish, especially Thai cuisine. Blends well when cooked in a curry or chop fresh on Pad Thai to experience full licorice aroma. Masses of medium-green leaves with occasional purple flecks and soft purple stems will brighten any retail display. Fast-growing variety with traditional Genovese flavour features high resistance to Fusarium. Unlike similar varieties, Newton does not have a licorice aftertaste, appealing to a wide range of consumers. Large, bright green, crinkled leaves are great for vegetable wraps and fresh chopped herbs.
