Please find for sale 20+ Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) seeds. Forget about the highly processed added-sugar sticky black "liquorice-flavour" sweets you had as a kid - this is the real thing that has been used in traditional remedies for millennia as well of course to flavour teas (very popular in Scandinavia), sweets and to make (Pontenfract) cakes. The active compound in Liquorice roots is Glycyrrhizin  - known for its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Once established, this perennial can provide a source or liquorice roots year on year.

Germination Guide

  • Soak seeds in a glass of water for 24 hours
  • Sow seeds on a surface of a well-draining compost mix - ideally 50/50 compost and vermiculite
  • Ensure compost mix is moist but not wet
  • Gently press the seeds into the surface to ensure a good compost
  • Don not cover the seeds - light required for germination
  • Keep at 17-20c out of direct sunlight
  • First seedlings should appear after 2-3 weeks

Growing On Guide

  • No need to fertilise - Liquorice is a legume like broad beans to fixes nitrogen from the air to the soil
  • Plant out once last frost has passed
  • Likes deep soil in full sun - but with good drainage
  • Heavy soils like clay need to be lightened with sand etc
  • Can be grown in mounds in a similar way to asparagus to allow for easier root harvesting
  • Roots can be harvested from the second year.
