Enjoy your Basil with a squeeze of Lime. That’s the flavor and fragrance you’ll find in the aromatic 2" leaves of Lime Basil, a cook’s favorite for grilled chicken and fish, Thai-style curries, salads, and cocktails. The compact, mounding plants fit nicely at the edge of the kitchen garden or border and in containers, including elevated beds.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is an easy-to-grow tender herb that likes a warm, sunny site with good air circulation. It is sensitive to frost and cold, so wait until the soil and air has warmed (night temperatures consistently above 50°F) to put your plant in the garden or in a container outside. Average to rich, well-drained soil will keep your plant growing well. Harvest by cutting off branches and then removing the leaves. Pinch off flower buds to keep your plant producing stems and leaves. Water when the top 1in of soil is dry. Feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer. Hardy in Zones 9-10.
