Planting notes
Sow Star Anise in spring at about 1/2 in. deep. Keep the seed starting mix lightly moist until germination, usually 30-60 days. Grow in full sun, partial shade and thin seedlings once they are large enough to handle. Begin light harvest around 3-6 years when plants are established, cutting modestly so they can continue growing.
Use local planting dates, weather, and soil conditions to fine-tune sowing time and care.
