Planting & Care

Sow Florence Fennel seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination. Once seedlings are established, thin them to the recommended spacing to allow for proper bulb development.

Fennel prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to prevent bolting. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest bulbs when they are about 3-4 inches in diameter, and snip leaves as needed for fresh use. Seeds can be collected when they turn brown.
