Cinnamon/Mexican Basil is an annual culinary basil with 2 to 3-inch leaves and light lavender blooms. The foliage carries cinnamon and mint with a touch of anise, warm on the tongue.
Sow on the surface and lightly cover. Start indoors 4-8 weeks before last frost at 65-70F, or sow outdoors after last frost every 2-4 inches and thin to 8-12 inches apart. Sprouts in 5-10 days. Plants grow 18-24 inches tall. Pinch seedlings to branch and pick leaves from 6-8 inches tall to keep production going.
