Cinnamon Basil is a captivating aromatic herb with dark green leaves, purple stems, and a genuinely warm, spicy-sweet fragrance that mingles cinnamon and clove into something entirely unlike any other basil. The leaves are outstanding in Southeast Asian cooking, Mexican mole sauces, herbal teas, and flavored oils where the exotic, warming aroma adds an unexpected depth. Equally beautiful as an ornamental plant, with attractive lavender flower spikes that pollinators adore.
