Fennel Green 8.5cm

Fennel is a versatile herb. Its bulb has a strong aniseed flavour and can be chopped up and used sparingly in soups or roasted with other vegetables. Its frondy foliage would make an interesting addition to ornamental borders or can be picked and added to pestos.

Fennel produces flat, tiny yellow blooms in July and August which attract beneficial insects - especially hoverflies. The seeds that follow are flavoursome and often added to curries. If you choose not to harvest the seeds, birds will feed on them in the autumn.

Please note that all our plants come in simple plastic pots unless otherwise stated in the product name. If you wish to pot yours up we do have a wide range of pots to choose from.
