Our heirloom anise seeds (\u003cem\u003ePimpinella anisum\u003c\/em\u003e) grow into feathery annual herbs topped with lacy white flowers, and by season's end you can harvest your own aromatic seeds for baking and tea. The blooms are a bonus, drawing in bees and beneficial insects along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rewarding grow for bakers, tea drinkers, and cooks who like to grow their own spices. Anise is easygoing in a warm, sunny spot, and there is real satisfaction in harvesting a jar of seeds you grew yourself. Gardeners who love pollinators will enjoy it too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow \u0026amp; when to plant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnise forms a taproot and does not like being moved, so sow the seeds directly where they will grow. Plant them about a quarter inch deep in full sun after your last frost, once the soil is warm, and thin plants to about 6 to 12 inches apart. Seeds usually germinate in about 10 to 14 days. Our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/growing-guides\/anise\"\u003eAnise growing guide\u003c\/a\u003e has the full details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing \u0026amp; care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive anise full sun, warmth, and soil that drains well, and keep it evenly watered while young. It appreciates a long, warm season to ripen its seeds, so a sheltered, sunny spot is ideal. Keep the bed weeded early on, since the young plants are delicate, and stake if your site is windy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor seeds, let the flower heads mature and the seeds turn grey-brown, then snip the heads and dry them before threshing out the seeds. You can also snip the young leaves earlier to use fresh in salads. Store the dried seeds in a jar for the pantry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits \u0026amp; uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnise seeds are a baker's favorite, lending their sweet licorice flavor to cookies, breads, and cakes, as well as teas and homemade syrups. The fresh leaves brighten salads, and the flowering plants feed bees and beneficial insects in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy bakers grow our anise seed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur anise seed is heirloom, non-GMO, and untreated, chosen for strong germination and packed fresh by a licensed seed dealer based in the USA.
