Is this the sort of thing my local garden centre will have?
Had a quick google and can see only one place selling plants...

Is it easy to grow from seed?


Instructions on growing from seed
http://www.gardenguides.com/98850-gr...rice-root.html

Source of seeds
http://www.nickys-nursery.co.uk/seeds/pages/herbl.htm
and from Amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Herb-Seeds-L...0017613&sr=1-2



Are the instructions above applicable to the UK?
http://www.brandycarrnurseries.co.uk...-liquorice.htm talks
about English liquorice and advises lifting the plants each autumn to
overwinter then plant out again in spring.

Also, http://www.stanleybriggs.com/pontefr...ractcakes.html makes
interesting reading :-)
