The flavour is spicy-sweet with distinctive cinnamon notes, making it a genuinely unique and versatile herb that works beautifully as a garnish, in salads, and in gourmet dishes. The edible flowers add further colour and flavour, excellent scattered over plates, cocktails, and desserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat-loving and easy to grow once the weather has warmed, Aromatto thrives in full sun and responds beautifully to regular pinching from 20 cm tall, producing generous, bushy stems all season long with a vase life of 7-10 days after cutting.
