Tender perennial grown as an annual. Florence fennel is usually grown as a vegetable for the succulent, sweet, licorice-flavored bulbs or as an herb for the delicately flavored foliage. If you have never had a fennel bulb, you're missing a treat! It can be eaten raw or used very effectively in soups, deep fried, in pasta, or sauteed. The feather fine leave are attractive in the garden and are an excellent fresh garnish to fish, chicken, tomatoes, and sauces. The seeds can be harvested and used as an herb. Try sprinkling a little fennel pollen over fish for a subtle fennel flavor. (Fennel is also a nice addition to butterfly gardens. It is a host plant for their caterpillars.) This packet plants: One 30-foot row.
