Cinnamon basil brings glossy green leaves with purple veins and stems, releasing a warm cinnamon‑clove aroma when you bruise them. The flavor is sweeter and spicier than classic Genovese—great in fruit salads, teas, syrups, and Thai‑style stir fries. Tall, branching plants throw purple flower spikes that bees mob, so pinch often for more leaves and less bloom. Basil loves heat, drainage, and steady moisture; stress turns it bitter. Harvest in the morning for peak oils, use fresh for brightest flavor, and dry extra for winter chai blends or potpourri.

How to Grow

Plant seeds directly into the garden starting 1-2 weeks after average last frost date, when air temperature is above 65°f. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-80°f. Or, start seed indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Transplant to the garden 1-2 weeks after your average last frost date. You can keep plants from bolting by pinching back their flower stalks.
