An heirloom fennel known as Finocchio in Italy. The celery like stalks and bulbs of this beautiful plant have a beautiful feathery blue green foliage. Fennel has a mild licorice flavor that is great raw in salads, tossed in stir fry's, in soups and amazing roasted! Our fennel variety is great for containers.
Offering a delicious anise taste and crisp texture, this heirloom will exceed all your expectations. We enjoy placing the stock in a glass of water for fabulous fennel essence in your water!
Fennel is also a host plant for the Black Swallowtail butterfly! Female butterflies lay their eggs only on certain host plants that will nourish the young caterpillars after they hatch. Grow these plants, supply food for the caterpillars, and remember to allow the caterpillar to devour the host plants!
Transplant after danger of frost has subsided. Can easily be divided in spring or fall. Do not disturb roots, can cause plants to bolt. Best to grow in moderate temperatures. Hot/cold extremes cause bulbs to get tough.
If starting seeds indoors, it is key that your new starts be hardened off. This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure.
Signs it’s ready to harvest
Bulb is rounded and swollen at the base
Bulb feels firm and solid
Stalks are still fresh and green
How to harvest
Use a sharp knife to cut the bulb just below the soil line.
Trim off the stalks and feathery fronds, leaving about 1–2 inches above the bulb.
The fronds can be saved and used like dill for flavoring.
For extended harvest
Harvest bulbs before they become too large, as oversized bulbs may become tough or fibrous.
Regular harvesting encourages the best flavor and texture.
