Licorice Seeds - Herbal Plant for Home Gardens

Licorice is a herbaceous perennial plant that grows well in warm, temperate climates with full sunlight and deep, well-drained soil. It develops upright stems with pinnate leaves and an extensive root system. The plant adapts best to areas with moderate moisture and good soil fertility, and it benefits from a long growing season for proper establishment. Licorice is suitable for garden beds or cultivated plots where soil depth allows root development.
