Description

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) is a tall, shrub-like perennial that's  attractive growing in the herb garden with lavender-blue flowers in the summer and early fall. Commercially, Licorice root is used to make candy, liquor, as a sweetening in teas and to make extracts. The extracts are used to flavor soft drinks, tobacco, and pharmaceutical products.

Care

Grown best in zones 7-10, Licorice  grows best in sub-tropical climates but in our zone, (7), it is considered a perennial plant. It grows best in rich, well-drained soils, and in full sun. Once the plant is three years of age, the roots are harvested in the autumn. 

Growth Habit

Typically reaching heights of 1-3' tall, it spreads through rhizomes (underground stems) and seeds, forming patches over time. The stems are upright, hairy, and covered in fine, sticky hairs.

Toxicity

The compound in Licorice Plant (glycyrrhizin) is the main culprit, causing potential health problems in pets if eaten in quantity. It is deer and rabbit resistant.
