Although its leaves do have a slight licorice flavor when crushed, this is an ornamental herb rather than a culinary one, and this is NOT the plant that licorice comes from. But it is a very pretty silvery plant that looks terrific in a moon garden. I probaby would grow the other kind of licorice giving my penchant for filling my garden with herbs & edibles, but..oh yeah. I hate licorice. Can't stand the stuff. So that would be why I'm going for the color of the leaves in this instance, not the taste.
