Myrrhis odorata - Sweet Cicely is a herbaceous perennial plant in the family Apiaceae. In spring delicate white flowers appear. The leaves are used as a flavouring, providing a lovely aniseed flavour. The unripe seeds make a tasty snack. Adding the leaves to cooked fruit adds a natural boost of sweetness so that the amount of sugar needed can be reduced. Prefers a moist humus rich soil in partial shade.
