Bronze Fennel
Bronze Fennel
Foeniculum Vulgare
Not your garden standard fennel here… Huge feathery golden green foliage with a very sweet and licorice like flavor erupt early in spring, followed by a tall stalk with huge yellow umbel flowers that just vibrate with pollinators and beneficial insects.
All parts edible and sweet, great for salads, teas, dried, etc. The seeds are potent and add interest to winter dishes, desserts or can be tinctured to make strong licorice drinks.
Great backdrop in a perennial flower garden, or woodland edge installations.

Site Preference:
Very hardy plant, can deal with dry or rough soil as it punches down deep with it’s tap root. Be careful where it gets planted since it will take over things around it in a formal annual garden.
