Cinnamon basil has a strong cinnamon scent. Pick the leaves and use fresh or dried in Asian dishes, 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. A beautiful plant with an enticing aroma.
Plant basil in full sun in soil that is amended with compost and a high nitrogen fertilizer for the most vigorous leafy growth. It may also be planted in a container using fresh potting soil, and feed regularly with a liquid high nitrogen fertilizer.
Harvest basil by pinching off entire stems just above the branches. Fertilize every few weeks with a liquid, high nitrogen fertilizer to encourage more leafy growth. Keeping the flowers cut back will also encourage leafy growth.
