Notes
'Basil, Cinnamon' basil (Ocimum basilicum 'Basil, Cinnamon') is an herb for food gardens, containers, borders, and indoor growing. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. You grow it for its sweet cinnamon flavor, and bees and butterflies visit the fragrant flowers.
Pairs well with Curly parsley, Fernleaf dill, and Black Magic kale.
