Licorice root is famous as a sweetener, being 50-70x sweeter than sugar. A perennial legume, the plant is a slow starter, but by its 2nd year makes a stand of 4-6’ stalks that return every spring for many years.
The root makes a great tea.
Harvest roots from the 3rd year on.
As you can see by the selection of photos here, I'm obsessed with this plant's amazing seed pods. Just a bonus.

Everything went well. No problems. ❤️ Hopefully I can get this to grow. 🙌🤞 Might would be helpful to put grow zone for this item in description.

After soaking in water for a few hours and planting 1/2 below soil, I have %90+ germination within 3 days, some sooner. The stuff on the net tells us scarify, stratify, call a priest... None of that was necessary.
