Frequently Asked Questions
Learn about growing anise, harvesting its seeds, and using this aromatic culinary herb.
How do you grow anise from seeds?
Direct sow anise seeds in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny location after the soil warms. Cover the seeds lightly, maintain even moisture during germination, and thin the seedlings to allow room for mature growth. Direct sowing is preferred because anise develops a taproot.
When are anise seeds ready to harvest?
Anise seeds are generally ready for harvest when the flower heads and seeds turn brown and begin to dry. Cut the mature seed heads before the seeds scatter, finish drying them in a well-ventilated place, and store the seeds in an airtight container away from heat and moisture.
What is the difference between anise and star anise?
Anise comes from the herb Pimpinella anisum, while star anise comes from the fruit of Illicium verum, an evergreen tree. Both have a sweet, licorice-like flavor, but they come from different plants and have distinct shapes and growing requirements.
