| What is the best way to propagate this plant? Mine has performed spectacularly and the flowers are just about finished so I was wondering about collecting seed, taking cuttings etc. I'll probably try both. I'd like more of these, as it's a stunning plant.
I use the young leaves in cooking, I made a sauce for atlantic salmon... delish.

| Either by seed or root division since its a perennial might be useful to cut it back before dividing it. I've used it with lamb instead of rosemary for a different flavour. It seems to cut the fat a bit. This is one of the herbs in my mint walk! Cheers

| Thanks Linda, I'll cut it back and stike the cut off material to generate new plants. If I find any seed I'll pop them into seed raising mix and see what happens. The lamb sounds interesting. The flavour being liquorice like should have similar application to tarragon I guess. I might try Anise hyssop chicken, a twist on the famous "tarragon chicken". Oh god I'm so hungry now. ;P~ |

| I just pigged out on pork spare ribs cooked on a bed of fresh thyme and sage coated in crushed mustard seeds and finished with clover honey. Roasted some of our own potatoes and steamed some beans and brocolli out of the garden - Only had to pay for the ribs! I feel extremely guity for breaking down on my 'healthy' eating regime, but you gotta be naughty once in a while! It would make a nice version of tarragon chicken - I might try that too although I do love my 'fine herbs' Linda |
