I have never smell anise plant, but i know the smell of dry anise for the cusine in china use lots of dry anise powder.

 

Sorry, can't speak Chinese

Heres my Dill, grown by fellow Gardeners Corner Members, Mr & Mrs Chopper

 

Dont worry, I can totally understand your english, all my gardening books are in English from RHS . So i believe i have no promblem understanding. Yes, my plant does look like that, Sorry i forgot to say, its annual .

 

Looking more like Dill than Fennel at the moment ..

Green fennel today:



I grow loads of fennel, both green & bronze, and despite being a perennial keep on sowing and planting out so there's always fresh leaves for picking after the overwintered stuff has gone to seed.

But pic #2 above looks too 'carroty' to be fennel, but if from Lidl seeds likely to be Dill.

 

Thanks for help , i will keep an eye of its growing. Yes, its a wild flower seed pack from lidl, they are the cheapest flower seeds i can find in France, this is my second year of gardening and first time managed to grow some plants from seeds, so i got lots of unknown baby plants waiting me to identify them.

I just google that "dill" is perennial herb, funny thing is the package cover said "annual wild flowers".

 

That would appear to also rule out wild carrot as having come from those Lidl seeds, as it's a biennial.
