Cinnamon Basil Seeds – Aromatic Culinary Herb

Sweet Cinnamon Warmth Meets Fresh Basil — A Garden & Kitchen Delight

Cinnamon Basil (Ocimum basilicum ‘Cinnamon’) is one of the most uniquely fragrant basil varieties available — bright green leaves with dark purple-red stems that release an intoxicating cinnamon-spice scent with every touch. Beautiful in the garden, captivating in the kitchen, and effortlessly easy to grow from seed.

Why Grow Cinnamon Basil?

• Distinctive Cinnamon-Spice Fragrance: Unlike any other basil — wonderful fresh in teas, fruit salads, Asian dishes, and baked goods, or dried for potpourri and herb wreaths.
• Ornamental Beauty: Dark purple-red stems and bright green leaves create a striking visual contrast in garden beds, borders, and containers.
• Natural Pest Repellent: Planted near tomatoes, peppers, and vegetables to deter aphids, mites, and tomato hornworms.
• Easy to Grow: Quick-sprouting (5–7 days) and beginner-friendly. Can be started indoors or direct-sown after the last frost.
• Compact & Bushy: Grows 12–16 inches tall and 12–18 inches wide — great for containers, window boxes, and herb garden borders.

Growing Guide

Sow outdoors after the last frost in full sun, rich, well-drained soil. Start indoors 4–8 weeks before last frost for an early harvest. Pinch the center shoot after 6 weeks to encourage bushy growth and prevent early flowering. Harvest just as flower buds begin to form for peak flavor. Use fresh, freeze, or dry on a tray in a dark, airy space.
