Seed of anise-hyssop is very small, perhaps a 
half million to the pound. The seed should be 
planted in late fall, winter or early spring when 
soil is cool. If the tiny seedlings are permitted to 
dry out before well rooted they die. We have had 
best success with a well prepared seed bed and 
sowing the seed on top of the ground at any time 
in winter or very early spring. A light sprinkle of 
straw to protect the young plants from the sun has 
proved helpful.
