Description


Cinnamon Basil, also called Mexican Basil, has glossy, deep green leaves that turn reddish at the tips when mature, and dark cinnamon-colored stems. Its warm, sweet cinnamon-anise flavor is especially nice in ham and pork dishes, apple pie and other desserts, and kombucha.

By far the most popular variety and possibly one of the most fragrant, this basil grows easily. Its aroma will remind you of sweet cinnamon and it is popular for use in hot drinks and paired with fresh fruit.

This sweet basil is exotic and has dark green leaves with purplish-red stems and purple blooms. It's spicy and has a cinnamon-like taste and scent. If you like making homemade potpourris or dried flower arrangements try adding some cinnamon basil!

The violet flower spikes make an unusual garnish or addition to salads. Harvest the leaves and stems from the top part of the plant, and pinch off edible flower buds as they appear, which prevents the leaves from turning bitter, and signals the plant to branch out and grow more leaves, making a bushier plant.

The more you harvest, the more it grows!

  • Cinnamon-anise flavor
  • Tons of medicinal benefits!
  • Good for indoor gardens
  • Good for containers

      OUR PLEDGE TO YOU

      Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.

      For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative. We pledge to you that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.Ā  The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats.

      We wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems and ultimately healthy people and communities.

      We do not buy - OR - grow any seed from large corporations that make Genetically Engineered seeds. Ā We don't touch that stuff and we never will.

      The seeds we offer aren't like varieties you'd typically find at a garden center.Ā 

      Every variety we offer is 100%Ā OP (open-pollinated).Ā  Open-pollinationĀ means that you can safely save the seed after harvest and preserveĀ a collection of heirloom seed for many generations to come.

      To make it perfectly clear ...Ā Our seeds do not contain any exogenously inserted embryogenesis deactivator genes caused by human intervention.
