Sowing

Sow anise from the end of April because it really cannot tolerate frost. Because of the long taproots, it is better not to move or prick out anise. Therefore, sow in the open ground in a warm place (pot is also possible). Sow in rows with 5 cm row spacing and cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil of one cm. The seeds germinate after about 3 weeks. Do not let anise dry out. You can add some vermiculite to the soil to keep it moist. Water regularly but not too much.
