Florence fennel forms a large bulb just above the ground that is eaten as a vegetable. Harvest seeds from the large seed heads to use in cooking, or use the stems and leaves in salads. Fennel is a host plant for the black swallowtail butterfly.
Seed Depth: 1/4" (6mm)
Plant Space: 12" (30cm)
Row Space: 12" (30cm)
Sprouts In: 7-14 days
Soak seeds in water for 36 hours prior to planting to improve germination. Plant outdoors in fertile, well-drained soil well after last spring frost date, or in late fall in warm climates. Keep soil consistently moist.
Harvest bulbs when they are still tender, about 2-3" diameter. Harvest seeds in late summer after seed heads have turned brown.
