 Fennel Florence

Approximately 55 Seeds in the packet

This wonderful herb is grown for its white, thick bulbs and edible foliage. Steam, grill or boil the bulbs, infuse the leaves in vinegar or add as a garnish to salad. Has a distinct aniseed flavour.

Outdoor Planting: Sow seeds 1.5cm deep direct in growing beds in rows 12" (30cm) apart. Keep the soil moist and be careful not to over-water. Do not transplant as Fennel dislikes root disturbance. Provide plenty of moisture throughout the growing season and keep weed free, mulch to conserve moisture.

Mound the soil around the bulbs as they start to swell, until the bulb is mature and about 7 - 10cm

Around 20 days later, cut the bulbs off at ground level. They will then re-sprout and the small shoots can be used in salads.

Sow Outdoors: May - June.

Row Width: 12"/30cm

Harvest: July - October
