Common fennel loves warmth and prefers humus-rich and nutrient-rich soils and sunny positions. Full and hot sun is ideal for it. The soil should primarily be loamy and well-draining so that the plant's roots do not rot in winter. Since you will receive a beautiful and strong grown seedling from us, you can plant it directly into the flower bed. The optimal spacing is sixty centimeters, which corresponds to roughly two to three plants per square meter. This generous space will guarantee plenty of light and excellent air circulation, and will promote the healthy growth of this impressive perennial reaching a height of 120 to 150 centimeters. When planting, remember that fennel forms a deep taproot and tolerates later transplanting poorly, so choose a permanent place for it.
Watering should be rather moderate; once rooted, fennel handles drought much better than heavy and permanently waterlogged soil. During the first weeks after planting, however, ensure a regular supply of water. For fertilizing, it is plenty sufficient to add high-quality compost during the planting itself; the plant does not require any further chemical feeding during the season. You often ask about growing in a pot or on a terrace. Fennel can be successfully grown in a spacious container, it's just necessary to ensure a really thick drainage layer at the bottom. Also, anticipate that in a confined space the substrate will dry out faster, so it will require slightly more frequent watering than in an open garden. For winter, then wrap the pot in jute against the freezing of the root ball.
During the summer, it requires no complicated maintenance, and a huge advantage is that it absolutely does not suffer from any diseases and pests avoid it with a wide berth. Growing it is thus completely stress-free even for beginners. It doesn't even need any support. In July, beautiful umbels unfold, which attract pollinators and can be used for drying. Frost hardiness is excellent, it handles temperatures down to -28 °C, so it does not need a winter cover. Leave the old stems with dried inflorescences in the flower bed; they will create an amazing winter effect. Cut them just above the ground only in early spring. Although it is classified among short-lived perennials, in a suitable place it reliably self-seeds and will last you for long years in the garden.
