Fennel is a highly versatile and aromatic plant, offering both a delicious bulb and fragrant, feathery foliage. This mix features both bulbing and perennial herb fennel, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds in your home garden. With its thick, hollow stems and lush green leaves, fennel not only enhances garden beds and pots but also serves a culinary purpose. Its distinctive aniseed flavor makes it a favorite among home cooks and gardeners alike.
You can use the entire plant in the kitchen. The crisp bulb works beautifully when roasted, grilled, or sliced into salads, while the delicate foliage adds a fresh, licorice-like note to various dishes. Once the plant flowers, its seeds develop, offering a valuable seasoning that can be harvested and dried. Since fennel is easy to grow and self-seeds readily, it ensures continual harvests and a lasting presence in any edible garden.
