‘Cinnamon’ Basil

An unusual variety with an incredible cinnamon scent. The flavour is similar to sweet basil but with strong overtones of cinnamon. 

Cinnamon basil has green leaves, and pretty purple flower spikes that seem particularly attractive to bees. Ideal in cooked dishes, and actually its just really nice as a decorative plant - the bush smells delicious when you brush against it.

A medium sized bush, green leaves, amazing cinnamon scent.

Finissimo Basil

This one has a lovely spherical bush shape which is ideal for growing in a pot. The leaves are tiny (1/2 cm), but there are loads of them and they have a strong basil scent and flavour. One of Kate's favourites - perfect for growing on a windowsill so that it's always to hand when you're cooking.

Tiny, strong-scented bushes.

Lemon Basil

Delicious - a real basil scent but with strong lemon flavour. Use it anywhere that you would use normal basil, but we find it particularly good in salad dressings, with fish dishes, and on fresh garden peas. You can also use it to make a nice herbal tea.

A green, lemon-scented basil.
