Basil 'Cinnamon'

Cinnamon Basil has a warm, subtly sweet flavour with spicy cinnamon undertones. Its slender leaves and purple stems give it a lighter, more delicate appearance than Aromatto or Dark Opal. Milder than Aromatto and more refined than Dark Opal, it’s perfect for teas, syrups, and baking.

Grows best in full sun. Pinch regularly to encourage branching and delay bolting. Use as a filler, accent, or edible flower in arrangements or culinary creations.

Transplant: Start seeds 6 weeks before planting out. Sow ¼" deep and maintain 21°C for optimal germination. Transplant when seedlings have 3–4 sets of leaves.
