Planting and Growing Instructions

Cinnamon Basil is easy to grow, making it an excellent addition to any garden. Here’s how to grow and care for your Cinnamon Basil plants:

1. Soil Preparation:
   Cinnamon Basil prefers well-drained soil rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal. Enrich the soil with compost or other organic materials to ensure healthy growth.

2. Planting:
   Plant your Cinnamon Basil seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them about 12-18 inches apart to allow the plants to thrive. Cinnamon Basil grows best in full sun and requires warm temperatures to thrive.

3. Watering:
   Water your Cinnamon Basil regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid over-watering. Basil doesn’t like to sit in waterlogged soil, so be sure to provide adequate drainage.

4. Care:
   Cinnamon Basil is a low-maintenance herb but benefits from regular trimming to encourage new growth. Pinch off the flower buds to ensure the plant’s energy goes into leaf production rather than flowering.

5. Harvesting:
   You can begin harvesting Cinnamon Basil leaves once the plant is around 6-8 inches tall. Harvest the leaves by snipping off the top leaves and branches, and the plant will continue to grow. Trim flowers as they appear to encourage bushier growth.
