This is a most attractive, stocky, vigorous plant with leaves with purple veins and spikes of dark rose-coloured flowers. It has a warm, spicy, cinnamon-like aroma and flavour with just a hint of cloves that lends itself to dishes where a sweet, spicy taste is sought such as fruit salads, chutney, sweet-and-sour dishes and chicken marinades. 2½ ft.
