Sweet Cicely

Heritage
True to its name, this herb has a sweet, anise-like flavor. It grows 2-3 feet tall, with feathery, fern-like leaves and delicate white flowers that attract pollinators. Its leaves and flowers add a subtle sweetness to both salads and desserts. Our kids snack on the seeds all day long. Sweet cicely thrives in partial to full shade, making it perfect for woodland gardens or shady spots.
