Ancestry Seed Bank Organic Basil Cinnamon 200 Seeds Pack. Basil is grown outside in summer and all year round in greenhouses to protect the plants from the winter cold. The aromatic herb can reach up to one meter in height and can grow in plant containers in your balcony garden or inside near a sunny window. Soaking needs to be done at least a few hours before planting, and preferably overnight. To prevent damping off when starting seeds indoors, it’s essential that you disinfect all of your plastic grow trays, seed cells, and seedling tray covers before you reuse them. Heirloom Basil Cinnamon as 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 centimetres in length and are glossy and elongated, bearing a lanceolate, slightly tapered shape. The leaves are also covered in prominent veins, giving the surface a textured appearance, and the edges are lightly serrated. Cinnamon basil showcases a unique variegated colouring as the crunchy, fibrous stems are dark purple while the leaves are dark to light green with purple-red veining. 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 flavour with cinnamon and mint nuances.
