Fennel Florence | OSC Seeds

Approx. 175 seeds/pkt (280 seeds/gram)

Florence Fennel is a unique heirloom herb grown primarily for its thick, succulent, bulbous base. It offers a pleasing, mild anise (liquorice-like) flavour that is absolutely superb when sliced raw into salads or braised and served with chicken and fish dishes. Above the crisp bulb, delicate, lacy foliage reaches a height of 75 cm, providing an irresistible aroma that many gardeners find appeals even to young children.

This variety is grown as an annual and is a dual-purpose plant, providing both a gourmet vegetable “bulb” and feathery herb fronds for garnishing.
