Growing Tips for Cinnamon Basil
Cinnamon Basil is a hardy herb that thrives in warm climates and sunny spots. Here’s how to grow your own fresh Cinnamon Basil:
- Soil Preparation: Plant in well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Basil prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0).
- Planting: Sow seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date, or directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and 12 inches apart.
- Sunlight: Choose a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Basil loves the sun!
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plants at the base to avoid wetting the leaves.
- Harvesting: Begin harvesting when the plant is about 6-8 inches tall. Regular harvesting encourages bushier growth and prevents the plant from flowering too early.
