Pink Frost Anise is an upright evergreen shrub with fragrant white margined foliage that turns pink as the temperatures cool. Pink Frost produces quarter-sized spidery red flowers in mid-spring. The seedpods have the same star shape as the culinary Anise, however, the ones on Pink Frost are toxic. Prefers rich, moist well-drained soils.
