Finale Fennel
Item Details
(F. vulgare) Slow-to-bolt, succulent, crisp 4" bulbs delight the taste buds whether eaten fresh, grilled, or roasted. Slightly flattened bulbs deliver a pleasant anise fragrance and flavor, while citrusy-tasting leaves accentuate salad dressings, sauces, and marinades. Bolt-resistant plants hold better in the field, and bulbs have a good shelf life after harvest. For optimal flavor, harvest the bulbs when they reach about 4" in width before they produce a central seed stalk. 75 days.
- Organic
- Tender perennial or annual
- Perfect harvest when bulbs are 4" in width
- Large, bulb-like growth at base of the stem
Growing Instructions
Instructions - Sow seeds indoors ¼" deep. Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Harvest before plant blooms to keep bulb from becoming tough. Prefers well-drained rich soil.
