The lack of light and heat somewhat slows down the growth of plants, therefore, sunny areas protected from the wind are allocated for anise. Sow it in early spring in moist soil. Before sowing, the seeds are soaked to speed up their germination. The depth of embedding in the soil is 2-3,5 cm. Plant care consists in weeding and loosening the row-spacings (with the first loosening being carried out immediately after germination), watering and fertilizing with fertilizers.

In the spring, harrowing is carried out twice, mineral fertilizers are applied: 20-30 g of superphosphate, 15-20 g of ammonium nitrate and 20-25 g of potassium salt per 1 m2. Common anise propagates by seeds. They are sown in early spring in moist soil, planted in holes to a depth of 2-3 cm with a distance between rows of 35-45 cm. Together with the seeds, granular superphosphate is added; 5-7 g per 1 mg. Seedlings appear after 17-20 days if the air temperature is not lower than 10 °C. Then loosening is carried out, and after 10-15 days - thinning of the plant. During the growing season, it is necessary to carry out systematic weeding, loosening and top dressing with ammonium nitrate at the rate of 10-15 g per 1 m2. The anise crop is harvested for greens and for seeds. Greens are removed before flowering and dried in a well-ventilated area or under a canopy in the shade. Harvesting for seeds is carried out when the stems turn yellow and the fruits of the upper umbrellas turn brown.
