Stunning purple-bronze foliage that adds drama to your garden while maintaining that signature fennel taste.

Growing Guide
Location

Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Fennel loves to stretch out, so give it plenty of space to grow.

Watering

Once established, fennel is surprisingly drought-tolerant. Just keep young plants well-watered for their first few months.

Maintenance

This easy-going plant needs little attention – just remove old stems in spring and watch it thrive!

Harvesting & Using

From spring through autumn, snip young leaves as needed for your kitchen creations. The more you harvest, the more the plant produces! Don't forget to try the flowers in summer salads, and collect seeds in late summer for both cooking and next year's planting.
