Anise seeds

Anise is a small herb with lacy leaves. It’s a member of the parsley family. Its leaves and seed have a sweet, licorice-like flavor. Both leaves and seeds can be used to flavor soups, salads, and sausage. They are used in bread, cookies, and candy.

Grow anise in full sun. Plant anise in a sheltered location out of the wind.

Start anise from seed indoors in late winter about 8 weeks before transplanting seedlings outdoors.

Because anise has a tap root it does not transplant well after the roots become established. Set seedlings in the garden in spring as soon as the soil can be worked; protect young plants with floating row covers or a plastic tunnel until after the last frost.
