Does anyone know where I can get a licorice plant?
we bought one from saddad on his open day, it's died off now, don't know too much about it, maybe he knows more ;D
Somebody on here mentioned Brandy Carr Nurseries the other day. That was the first time I realised there was such a thing in the UK.

It was zeed, under Rhubarb what sort. Zeed even mentioned licorice! Sorry to snaffle your find zeed.
You can grow it yourself from seed, as I did this year. Sadly, the slugs like it!
Where did you get the seed?

How long before you get a crop off it?

Nicky's Nursery sell seeds. I hear they need scarified, soaked etc, but I'm still tempted.
That's just the problem. I feel a licorice plant coming on. No space! Help! I didn't even know about them until a short while ago!!
I'm assuming it's herbaceous Manics and it will "be back".... ???
I shall get some seeds from Nickys but it says it takes 3-4 years for a crop. I takes longer than asparagus. But is cheap enough to give it a try.
Oh dear I'm a bit bored got back to looking at seed catologues. I thought I had weened myself off seeds. :P :P
thanks, david, will leave it in peace with a sign by it, DO NOT DIG UP for Ray ;D
they grows it in yorkhire - ponterfract in fact
