Wild Fennel
Foeniculum vulgare
This variety of fennel is distinguished by its small, highly melliferous plants, which flower as early as the first year of cultivation. This is an advantage over biennial varieties, which don't flower until their second year.
Leaves, flowers and seeds are edible, although production per plant is generally lower than that of biennial-flowering fennels. However, its main advantage lies in its rapid production. We therefore recommend growing a sufficient number of plants to meet your needs.
Growing instructions
Direct sowing from March in rows 20 cm apart. Thin young shoots to around 5-10 cm. Plants can be hastened by planting indoors.
Harvest leaves and flowers in summer, and seeds in September.
