Florence Fennel – Anise-Flavoured Leaves and Bulbs for Cooking

Florence fennel (Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce) is an aromatic and versatile plant that can be grown both as an herb and as a vegetable. The leaves can be used fresh in cooking, and when grown later in the season, the plant can form a juicy, anise-flavoured bulb for vegetable use.

Sow the seeds outdoors in rows in spring or early summer and thin the seedlings lightly. The bulbs can be earthed up during development to help keep them pale and tender. Fennel grows best in a warm and sunny location.
