Scatter seeds thinly and cover lightly with soil, then water gently. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-14 days. Thin seedlings to stand 8-12 inches apart to allow good air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, anise requires moderate watering and benefits from a layer of mulch to retain moisture. Harvest leaves as needed during the growing season, and collect seed heads when they turn brown and dry. Anise is generally pest-resistant and deer-resistant, making it a low-maintenance addition to the herb garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Anise Herb seeds for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67862007611702,"sku":"FSG-125","price":11.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7666525673_sp6l.jpg?v=1793267679","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-anise-herb-seeds-aromatic-licorice-flavor-for-culinary-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
