The composition of oils varies greatly in different basil types, thus accounting for the wide range of scents available. Cinnamon basil has a strong cinnamon scent. Pick the leaves and use fresh or dried in tomato dishes, pasta sauces, vegetables and soups. You can also use basil in the garden as a companion plant to repel aphids, mites, and tomato hornworms.

Small terminal racemes of pink flowers are borne in summer. Grow in a rich, well-drained, soil in full sun. Pinch out growing tips to encourage bushier plants and to delay flowering.Pkt is 100 seeds.
