Fennel Florence

£1.39£11.99

Florence fennel is grown primarily for its fleshy bulb, which has a delicious aniseed flavour, although the leaves can be utilised. We believe this to be the best variety only growing up to 90cm tall, which makes it an ideal candidate for smaller gardens. The Bulb can be steamed or boiled and served with a creamy sauce or used raw in salads. This is not the same as Common Fennel grown purely for its leaves.

Fennel Florence – Growing Instructions

  • Sow in mid spring to late summer in shallow drills 45cm apart.
  • As the seedlings become large enough to handle thin them to 20cm between each plant.
  • It is best to sow Florence fennel seeds successively in small quantities.
  • Keep the plants well watered.
  • When the bulbs begin to swell to about 5cm in diameter, earth them up.
  • Cut and use Florence fennel about 3 weeks after earthing up.
