Seed source: licorice mint ?
We used to have a licorice mint plant. Its leaves had a wonderful taste, and
it (surprise!) wasn't even invasive. It has died, and I haven't found anywhere that sells the seed. Anyone know of a source? I didn't see one in all the entries that google yielded. TIA! -frank -- |

Here are some pictures of it. http://www.holoweb.com/nature/plants...Foeniculum.htm http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/c...oeniculum.html If that's what you're looking for, google anise hyssop or Agastache, and you'll find lots of sources.

Wow! Thanks for the pointers. What selections! And, to avoid confusion, you aren't talking about Anise-hyssop (_Agastache foeniculum_) are you? It's also known as Korean mint, licorice mint, or anise mint. Here are some pictures of it. http://www.holoweb.com/nature/plants...Foeniculum.htm http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/c...oeniculum.html Yes, I'd seen references to anise hyssop, but wasn't (and am still not) sure that is what we were growing. It looks interesting regardless -- think I'll try it. The picture is far too small to be sure. Our plant wasn't nearly 3' tall (half that at most), but we were growing it in a relatively dry location. If that's what you're looking for, google anise hyssop or Agastache, and you'll find lots of sources. Penelope Thanks, Penelope! -frank -- |
