Color Name: Cinnamon Basil
Cinnamon Basil is a rare treat your garden should not be without. A distinctly different variety, Cinnamon Basil is very easy to cultivate, delicious and useful in the garden. Grow it for that irresistible spicy-sweet scent and delectable flavor of the small, deep green leaves.
Growing Tips: Growing tips: Compost and manure should be added a month after sowing. Be sure to avoid over-crowding as the plant requires decent air circulation. Pinch out flowers as they appear to preserve aromatic properties. Harvest top-outer leaves first to promote additional growth. Best to harvest from multiple plants at once as opposed to harvesting entire plants. Leaves can be frozen once harvested. Attracts bees, butterflies and birds.
