cinnamon basil

The flavor of cinnamon basil is especially suited to dishes that include fruit. Smaller than Sweet Basil, this narrower-leafed variety is known for its darker color and spicy, cinnamon-like aroma and taste. Basil loves hot weather and plenty of sunshine, but it needs consistently moist, rich soil. Mulch the plants to retain moisture, and water heavily during dry spells. Packet contains 100 seeds.
