Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a natural mutation of the «Lesbos» variety. The plant forms a dense vertical bush 45 to 120 cm tall and 30–60 cm in diameter. Due to the almost complete absence of flowering, the variety is propagated only vegetatively by cuttings.

The leaves possess a basil aroma with a citrus note and are suitable for fresh consumption. The variety shows good resistance to diseases, including downy mildew, and is adapted to a warm climate. The plant is sensitive to frost, therefore in cold regions, it is grown as an annual or brought indoors for the winter.
