The flavor and aroma of Anise seeds have similarities with other spices and herbs, including; star anise, fennel, liquorice, and tarragon. It is widely cultivated and used to flavour food, candy, and alcoholic drinks, especially around the Mediterranean. Western cuisines have long used Anise to flavor dishes, drinks, and candies. 

Anise is an herbaceous annual plant growing to 60–90 cm (2-3 feet) or more. The leaves at the base of the plant are long and shallowly lobed, while leaves higher on the stems are feathery or lacy, pinnate, divided into numerous small leaflets. The flowers are produced in dense umbels.

It can attract certain larvae of some butterflies and moths.

The seeds should be planted as soon as the ground warms up in spring. Because the plants have a taproot, they do not transplant well after being established so they should either be started in their final location or be transplanted while the seedlings are still small.
