Basil 'Mexican Cinnamon Spice'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Mexican Cinnamon Spice is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Ensure your soil is loamy, sandy and silty and has a ph of between 5.5 and 7.0 as Basil is a weakly acidic soil to neutral soil loving plant.

Look to ensure a distance 0.5 inches (1.27 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.12 inches (0.3 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 10°C / 50°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Mexican Cinnamon Spice about 20 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Mexican Cinnamon Spice is a tender plant.
