Planting Instructions: Anise Hyssop germination benefits from a period of cold (Cold Stratification). Either sow seeds in the garden in fall or in the late winter about 6-8 weeks BEFORE your last frost. Plant in full sun to part shade and simply press the seeds into the soil because they need light to germinate. Anise Hyssop seeds can also be started in containers, just be sure they have a period of cold and moist conditions.
