Ornamental Basil ‘Cinnamon’
Shipping : Mid/Late February 2026
A scent you will remember long after the bouquet is gone.
Basil ‘Cinnamon’ is a longtime favorite for good reason. Warm, spicy, and instantly recognizable, its fragrance fills a room the moment it is cut. Tall, productive plants are topped with dark purple flowers, green leaves, and rich chocolate-toned stems that add both colour and structure to summer arrangements.
This variety is one of the most fragrant and abundant foliage plants you can grow, making it a true workhorse in the cutting garden. It pairs beautifully with bright blooms and soft pastels alike, bringing depth, contrast, and that unexpected scent that makes people lean in a little closer. A simple solution when bouquets need more texture, height, and interest without adding extra flowers.
Heat-loving and easy to grow once temperatures rise, ‘Cinnamon’ basil thrives in full sun and responds well to regular pinching, rewarding you with lush, continuous growth all season long.
Because the best bouquets engage all the senses.

Seed Sowing & Growing Notes:
Start seeds indoors in trays about 6 weeks before last frost. Transplant outdoors only after all danger of frost has passed and the weather has fully warmed, as basil is very sensitive to cold. Once established in warm soil, plants grow quickly and vigorously.
Harvesting & Vase Life:
Harvest when stems begin to toughen or as flowers start to form. Cut during the coolest part of the day to reduce wilting. Immediately dip the bottom few inches of stems in boiling water for 7 to 10 seconds, or use Quick Dip, then place into cool water. Expect a vase life of approximately 7 to 10 days.
A fragrant classic that earns its keep in every summer garden.
