How to grow anise

Pimpinella anisum

When to plant anise

Sow anise from seed in a full-sun spot after the soil warms in spring (NC State). It is a warm-season annual in the parsley family grown for its licorice-flavored seeds and leaves.

Anise is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
