Lemon Basil - how to grow

Lemon basil seems more fuzzy than Sweet Basil. For Sweet Basil, I can stem cut and transplant directly into the soil and they will grow quite easily. Not for Lemon Basil - the first cutting that I transplanted directly into the soil died after 2 weeks. So, I tried to put them into a bottle of water first. Yup, after about 2 weeks, roots are setting nicely. Will transplant to the plot next week or so.

    LOL... they smell very similar... from what I can recall of the smell of lemon balm! For lemon basil, it has a background smell of basil with a tinge of lemon! Does it make sense?? LOL
