Description
Anise is an old-world annual herb grown for its feathery foliage, delicate white flower umbels, and sweet licorice-scented seed. The seeds have long been used in breads, cookies, teas, candies, and traditional household herb blends, bringing a warm aromatic note that feels both old-fashioned and bright.
Plants are light and graceful in the garden, attracting beneficial insects when in bloom. Let the seed heads ripen and dry on the plant, then gather them for the pantry—a small harvest with a fragrance that fills the room.
