Description
Pimpinella alismatifolia (also called anise-root, and many other common names) is a species of flowering plant in the Apiaceae family. It is native to Europe and North Africa. It typically grows in grasslands, meadows, and pastures.
Cultivation and Propagation
Pimpinella alismatifolia can be propagated by seed or division. Seeds should be sown in spring in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Division in spring or autumn. Larger clumps can be replanted direct into their permanent positions, though it is best to pot up smaller clumps and grow them on in a cold frame until they are rooting well. Plant them out in the spring.
