Cinnamon Basil is a fragrant annual herb prized for its glossy green leaves, purple stems, and warm cinnamon spice aroma. It is commonly used to flavour teas, desserts, fruit dishes, and a variety of savoury recipes. During summer, it produces spikes of small pink to lavender flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Regular harvesting and pinching off flower buds encourage bushier growth and a continuous supply of fresh leaves throughout the season. Cinnamon Basil thrives in full sun, warm temperatures, and well drained soil, making it an excellent choice for herb gardens, raised beds, and containers.
