Illicium anisatum Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers a light, moist well-drained loam and a sheltered position[1, 11]. Prefers a humus-rich lime-free soil[182, 200]. Succeeds in sun or semi-shade[200]. A slow-growing plant[188]. This species is not very cold-hardy, it tolerates temperatures down to about -10°c but normally requires the protection of a wall in most of Britain[184]. It succeeds outdoors in the mildest areas of the country[59]. Star anise is a very ornamental and aromatic plant that is much planted near Buddhist shrines and temples in Japan[184]. The plants have the scent of anise[219]. All parts of the plant are pleasingly aromatic. The leaves release a powerful aromatic odour when touched and the flowers have a spicy odour[245]. Plants seldom grow larger than about 2 metres in Britain, but are often 10 metres tall in their native habitat[58]. For further Illicium anisatum gardening information |
