Basil Asian Cinnamon is a distinctive culinary and ornamental basil variety distinguished by its pronounced sweet cinnamon aroma and striking visual architecture. This fast-growing heirloom produces tall plants with characteristic violet stems, veining, and flower bracts that create dramatic color contrast against the bright green foliage and delicate lavender blooms. The defining sensory characteristic of Asian Cinnamon is its authentic cinnamon fragrance, which establishes a sophisticated flavor foundation for both culinary and beverage applications. The 2-inch leaves deliver concentrated cinnamon-basil complexity suitable for Asian-inspired cuisine, dessert preparations, and specialty tea formulations. The variety's aromatic intensity makes it valuable for infusions, syrups, and contemporary culinary applications where cinnamon-basil character elevates complex flavor compositions. Beyond culinary merit, Asian Cinnamon's ornamental qualities distinguish it as a dual-purpose herb. The violet-tinted stems and veining combined with lavender flower clusters create exceptional visual interest suitable for casual flower bouquets, mixed herb gardens, and decorative landscape integration. The plant's substantial height and architectural branching pattern establish strong garden presence while maintaining continuous productivity. Each packet contains 200 Non-GMO, heirloom seeds with germination rates of 60% or better, ensuring reliable establishment and consistent plant vigor. Harvestable foliage develops in approximately 65 days, enabling earlier-season applications compared to standard basil varieties. The variety thrives in warm, sunny conditions where it maintains steady growth and continuous leaf production throughout the growing season. Asian Cinnamon is essential for cooks exploring aromatic herb profiles and gardeners seeking ornamental herbs with authentic culinary credentials.
