Sweet Cicely (Myrrhis odorata) is a European perennial carrot family plant that produces fern-like licorice-fennel flavored foliage. Leaves are edible and make a really wonderful tea. Also known as Garden Myrrh or Sweet Chervil.
Seeds have a long germination period and require cold stratification. Expect six weeks for germination and approximately 120 days and beyond for harvestable foliage. Mature plants can be propagated by root divisions.
