Scatter seeds thinly and cover lightly with soil, about 1\/4 inch deep. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-14 days. Thin seedlings to stand 8-12 inches apart once they are a few inches tall. Anise prefers full sun and well-drained soil; avoid overwatering. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest seeds when they turn brown and dry, usually in late summer. Cut the flower heads and hang them upside down in a paper bag to collect the seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e400 Anise seeds (Pimpinella anisum).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824730079542,"sku":"FOLIA2-1106","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6530411284_ap0a.jpg?v=1793004357","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/anise-seeds-pimpinella-anisum-400-seeds-for-planting-aromatic-herb","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
