Description
fennel seeds for garden Florence Fennel Seeds FennelIn Italy, Florence Fennel or finocchio is grown for its large, round, compact, pure white bulb. University research on this crop compared to a number of fennel varieties. This variety not only produced the largest bulbs, but they were near twice the size of the nearest competitor. Our trials confirm this with bulbs in excess of 1 lb in weight and nearly 1 high. Florence Fennel is used raw or cooked in Italian cuisine for its sweet, anise like flavor.

How much does a packet sow: 8-10 foot single row
Harvest: When the base thickens and the bulb is the size of a tennis ball. Cut leaves off 2” above the bulb.
