BASIL ‘Cinnamon’
Ocimum basilicum
A basil with a distinct cinnamon aftertaste. Olive green leaves with attractive purple growing tips and rose-pink flowers. Use as you would sweet basil in salads, pasta, pizza and tomato dishes. In a sunny, sheltered position it will happily grow to 70 cm. Sow direct to garden or grow as a pot plant.

Sow direct when soil and weather is warm enough. In cooler areas sow indoors in trays to transplant once frosts passed and soil and weather warmed. Keeps seeds moist and warm (22˚C). Basil seeds need light to germinate. Very frost sensitive.
