Licorice propagated from seed generally grows for 4 years after sowing, while that propagated from rhizomes can be harvested after 3 years of growth. Harvesting in autumn each year is best. When harvesting, dig up the licorice roots and rhizomes, shake off the soil, and set them aside for processing.
