Planting and Growing Instructions

Cinnamon Basil Herb is a low-maintenance herb that is easy to grow. Follow these steps for a successful harvest:

  1. Soil Preparation:
    Cinnamon Basil thrives in well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Ensure the soil has a neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0-7.0) and amend with compost for added nutrients. Well-drained soil is key to preventing root rot.

  2. Planting:
    Sow Cinnamon Basil seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart for optimal growth. It grows best in full sun and requires warm temperatures to thrive. Plant after the last frost date or start indoors about 6 weeks prior.

  3. Watering:
    Cinnamon Basil needs regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist but avoid over-watering. Water at the base of the plant to prevent leaf wetness, which can lead to fungal diseases. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

  4. Pruning and Care:
    Regular pruning helps to encourage bushier growth. Pinch off the flower buds as they appear to prevent the plant from flowering too soon, directing its energy into producing leaves. Prune the plant regularly to keep it neat and healthy.

  5. Harvesting:
    Cinnamon Basil is ready to harvest when the plant reaches about 6-8 inches tall. Snip the leaves and stems with scissors, taking care to leave enough growth for the plant to continue thriving. Harvesting regularly encourages new growth and maintains flavor.
