Anise Herb Growing Habits

Open-pollinated Anise herb plants (Pimpinella anisum) will reach heights of 18-24 inches and display large primary leaves and feathery secondary leaves, which turn into clusters of tiny, yellow-white flowers called umbels in midsummer, followed by ribbed teardrop-shaped fruits called Aniseed for which this is herb is especially famous. The seeds are nestled into the umbels and emerge when the full-grown anise herb plant is allowed to dry in the ground or hung upside down to dry in a controlled space.

The Various Uses for the Anise Herb and Seed

Anise herb garden seeds are the most widely used part of the plant. Though the heirloom anise leaves, too, are tasty and can be snipped off and added to salads or sprinkled over finely chopped vegetables. Dry anise leaves after harvest and use in teas. Whole or crushed the Anise seed kernels can be added to bread, cakes, cookies, applesauce, soups, or even beverages.

Anise is also used as a flavoring agent. It has a sweet, aromatic taste that resembles the taste of black licorice. Famously, anise is the primary flavoring in Ouzo, a liqueur originating from Greece.
