Description
Bulbous fennel forms a fleshy, white pseudo‑bulb with a delicate anise aroma, which is appealing raw in salads or cooked as a side dish. Its fine foliage also flavors like fennel fronds. As a late‑summer and autumn vegetable, it is an ideal substitute for a harvested spring bed.
Care instructions
Sow from mid‑May to July directly in the garden or start indoors; early sowing can cause premature bolting in cold weather. Water evenly, as drought stress also induces flowering. Group the bulbs together once they are mature to keep them white and tender, and harvest them in August just above the soil surface.
