Cinnamon basil is a multi-branched plant with slender stems and small, narrow leaves that grow in an opposite formation along the stems. The leaves average 5 to 7 centimeters in length and are glossy and elongated, bearing a lanceolate, slightly tapered shape. When in bloom, the flower stalks are also purple, bearing pale pink, lavender, to white flowers. Cinnamon basil is aromatic, emitting a sweet, spice-filled scent, and the leaves have a pleasant green, herbal, and warm flavor with cinnamon and mint nuances. Cinnamon basil has an herbal, warm flavoring well suited for fresh preparations and as a garnish for cooked recipes.
Removing the plastic bag is the first thing to do. Keep the plant indoors, not fully exposed to the sunlight. Make sure you water the plant every second day or whenever it looks floppy. Water deeply at least once a week. The best time of day for water is early in the morning. The best practice is to transplant to a larger pot. It keeps the roots growing deep and the soil moist. When growing in a container, your goal is to keep the soil from drying out.
