Cinnamon Basil 100 Seeds Ocimum basilicum

Cinnamon Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a unique and aromatic variety prized for its spicy cinnamon-scented leaves and attractive purple stems. This fast-growing annual herb typically reaches 18 to 30 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide, forming a lush, bushy plant that is both ornamental and highly useful in the kitchen. The narrow, glossy green leaves release a delightful blend of sweet basil and warm cinnamon when touched, making them perfect for teas, fruit salads, desserts, jellies, and a variety of savory dishes. During summer, the plant produces lovely spikes of lavender-pink flowers that rise above the foliage, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators to the garden. Cinnamon basil thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and performs beautifully in garden beds, raised planters, and containers on patios or windowsills. Easy to grow and highly productive, this heirloom herb adds beauty, wonderful fragrance, and an exotic flavor to any herb collection, making it an excellent choice for an herb garden.
