| The seeds supplied by Cornell did not germinate so we ordered more from Johnnys. They germinated and we had a good crop. Not sure of the culinary use, but it had a nice licorice flavor. Lesson learned - pinch them even more than we did so the plants would be more compact. |

| Germinated well indoors, grew well and kept pinching but flowered early. Nice flavor, pretty flowers and leaves. Floppy stems despite full sun was only downside. |
