Lime Basil
Lime Basil is a low growing basil with dark green, somewhat narrow leaves. Healthy and harmonious in its growth. The very strong aroma is reminiscent of lime, lemon and bergamot. Goes well with tomatoes and Asiatic dishes but also with fruit salad or jam. Dried leaves make a very recommendable tea.
