With its warm, spicy, cinnamon-like aroma and flavour, this variety 'Cinnamon' Basil is a standout in both the garden and the kitchen. The taste pairs exquisitely with fruit salads, adds a fragrant flourish when you pop a sprig into a hot drink, and works beautifully in chutneys, sweet-and-sour dishes, marinades, pasta, and tomato-based recipes... the list goes on!
🌱 Seasonal Growing Guide
SPRING
Sow seeds in pots or plug trays. If sowing in early spring, use bottom heat to encourage germination.
Once seedlings are large enough to handle, pot them up and continue to grow on.
Water early in the day to reduce the risk of damping off.
SUMMER
Pinch out flower buds to keep the plant leafy and prolong harvest.
Pick leaves regularly for best flavour.
AUTUMN
With some care, you can extend your harvest into winter.
Plants may need feeding or repotting to keep them vigorous.
