Caraway (botanical name, Carum carvi) is also known as meridian fennel. It is a biennially growing herb having an upright, grooved and branching stem that grows up to a height of 1.5 feet to 2 feet. The leaves of caraway are feathery and emerge from the stem in threes or opposite pairs.araway is considered to be a safe and effectual herb for alleviating colic, especially among young children. Crush an ounce of caraway seeds and allow it to settle in cold water for approximately six hours.
The caraway plant is a biannual. This means it takes two years for the plant to mature, produce seeds, then die. In practical terms, you start the plants two years in a row from seed. You won't get seeds until the second year so starting them two years in a row will give you an ongoing crop.
