Ammi Majus White Dill

Pimpinella anisum, commonly known as anise, is a flowering plant prized for its aromatic seeds. The plant reaches a height of about 1-2 feet and features feathery green leaves. Anise seeds, with their distinctive licorice-like flavor, are a key culinary spice and are used in both sweet and savory dishes, as well as in beverages like teas and liqueurs. Anise plants thrive in well-drained soil and prefer full sunlight. With its unique flavor profile and various applications in cuisine and traditional medicine, Pimpinella anisum holds a special place among herbs with distinct aromatic qualities.

To sow anise seeds, start by choosing a well-draining soil mix. Plant the seeds directly in the garden or in pots, sowing them about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. Ensure the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period, which typically takes around 14-21 days. Anise seeds benefit from warmth, so providing a stable temperature around 70°F (21°C) promotes successful germination. Once the seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, thin them to allow proper spacing, usually 6-12 inches apart. Anise plants appreciate full sunlight and can be grown in various climates. Regularly water the plants and, if desired, apply a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. With these considerations, cultivating anise from seeds can yield aromatic and flavorful herbs for culinary and medicinal purposes.
