Grow Anise (Pimpinella anisum), a fragrant herb valued for its seeds and leaves, ideal for culinary, medicinal, and garden use. These Non-GMO, open-pollinated seeds thrive in full sun with well-drained soil, producing aromatic plants perfect for seasoning, teas, or decorative herb gardens. Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after frost danger has passed. Harvest seeds when mature in late summer, providing fresh anise for cooking, baking, or herbal remedies.

Sow Anise in spring at about 1/4 in. deep. Keep the seed starting mix lightly moist until germination, usually 10-14 days.
Grow in full sun and thin seedlings once they are large enough to handle.
Begin light harvest around 120 days when plants are established, cutting modestly so they can continue growing.
