To propagate Anise Hyssop, the most common method is by division in either spring or fall, where you dig up the established plant, separate it into smaller clumps with roots, and replant each division individually; you can also propagate it by seed by sowing them directly in the garden or starting them indoors, but be aware that seeds may need cold stratification to germinate properly; lastly, you can try taking stem cuttings in the spring or summer, dipping the cut ends in rooting hormone to encourage root development.
