Its opposite, toothed and slightly heart-shaped leaves release a distinctive anise and liquorice fragrance when crushed. From summer into early fall, the flowers create a light vertical display that adds movement and colour to perennial beds.

It prefers loose, average to moderately fertile soil that ranges from dry to evenly moist and drains exceptionally well. Young plants require regular watering while their roots become established, whereas mature plants tolerate short dry periods. Avoid heavy soil that remains wet, especially during winter, because excessive moisture can lead to crown and root rot. In Canadian gardens, a warm, sunny and well-ventilated site improves vigour and winter survival.

The edible leaves and flowers have a sweet anise flavour that can enhance herbal tea, salads, desserts, syrups and chilled drinks. It combines beautifully with coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, bee balm, goldenrods and ornamental grasses. To reduce unwanted seedlings, remove faded flower spikes before the seeds mature.

For microgreens, soak the seeds for a few hours, then spread them in an even layer at the bottom of a germination tray with drainage holes. Lightly cover the tray to encourage rooting. Rinse or mist the seeds thoroughly twice a day without disturbing them until the roots have established themselves. Sprouts are ready to harvest in a few days, and microgreens are ready in about a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1584\" data-end=\"1708\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1584\" data-end=\"1596\"\u003eSoaking\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1596\" data-end=\"1599\"\u003e Soak the seeds for 4 to 5 hours to ensure even hydration and regular germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1710\" data-end=\"1887\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1710\" data-end=\"1723\"\u003eYield\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"1726\"\u003e One tablespoon of seeds produces approximately 2 to 3 cups of sprouts, or 8 to 12 cups of microgreens if the plants are allowed to develop to the leafy stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1889\" data-end=\"2065\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1889\" data-end=\"1901\"\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1901\" data-end=\"1904\"\u003e Store unsprouted seeds in a cool, dry place.
