The scent that instantly makes summer feel lighter.
Basil ‘Mrs. Burns Lemon’ is one of those plants that changes the mood of a room the moment it’s cut. Clean, bright, and unmistakably citrusy, its fragrance feels fresh and uplifting, never heavy. The vivid green foliage and delicate white flowers bring a soft, garden-fresh look to summer bouquets, while the scent adds a subtle layer that makes arrangements feel alive and inviting.
This heat-loving basil is incredibly easy to grow and wildly productive, making it a favorite for fast, effortless bouquets from midsummer through fall. We love pairing it with zinnias for an instant arrangement that looks intentional but never overworked. If your garden goal is beauty without complication, this variety delivers every time.
Because sometimes a single stem can change the entire feeling of a space.

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes:
Start seeds indoors about 6 weeks before last frost. Transplant outdoors only after all danger of frost has passed and temperatures have warmed, as basil is very sensitive to cold. Warm soil and consistent sun encourage strong, fragrant growth.
Harvesting & Vase Life:
Harvest when stems begin to toughen or when flower buds start to form. Cut during the coolest part of the day to reduce wilting. Immediately dip the lower stems in boiling water for 7 to 10 seconds or use Quick Dip, then place in cool water. Expect a vase life of 7 to 10 days.
A bright, fragrant staple that brings ease, freshness, and quiet joy to every summer bouquet.
