Anise is always grown in our gardens, they not only have attractive foliage but their seeds are harvested in our kitchens for soups, spreads, salad dressings, cakes, and cookies. Seeds and leaves carry a sweet, licorice-like flavor, make a comforting tea, or a tasty breath freshener. Many use Anise as a treatment for sore throats, indigestion, and flatulence. Anise essential oil is used to flavor licorice candy. Try the feathery leaves fresh in salads and soups. Umbrella-like clusters of tiny white flowers bloom in July, attract butterflies, bees, and beneficial insects. Seed heads attract birds.

Anise prefers full sun, regular water. Seed heads attract birds. Plants are deer resistant. Harvest leaves anytime during the growing season. Flower heads turn gray-brown in fall, cut and place in paper bags or spread out on trays and dry in direct sun. Once the seed is dried, can be stored whole or powdered in airtight containers.

Anise is said to encourage cilantro to germinate. The strong smell of anise is said to repel aphids and fleas. Avoid planting anise with carrots and radishes. Grow creeping thyme at the foot of anise.
