Anise Herb - 440 (2g's) Culinary Seeds

Packet Content: 440 (2g's approx )

Bushy plant up to 50cm in height

Sow Anise from March to May, in pots or trays on the surface of barely moist seed compost and cover seeds with a sprinkling of finely sieved compost. Place in a propagator at 15-20C (59- 68F) until germination, which can be up to 21 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into 7.5cm (3") pots and grow on in cooler conditions.

When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting outdoors. Plant at a distance of 38cm (15") apart on any fertile, free draining, non acidic soil in full sun.

Once established Anise requires little attention and copes well with dry conditions. Harvest the leaves as and when required once plants are well grown.

Suitable for the vegetable garden, allotments and containers.
Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season. Regular feeding is recommended.
