This variety has an excellent lemon scent. It has larger leaves and a more robust growth habit than other lemon scented varieties. Use it in salads, with fish or seafood, soups and desserts. Mrs. Burns and her son Barney invented the Barney Basil Berger. They would combine ground beef with finely chopped lemon basil, and cook over an outdoor grill. | |
