Fennel

Common fennel is an imposing aromatic perennial that brings an unrepeatable veil effect into the garden. It originally hails from the Mediterranean, where it grows in sunny places. Therefore, it also prefers full sun and well-drained loamy soil here. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply transplant into the flower bed, spacing them sixty centimeters apart. It grows to over a meter tall and is cultivated for its finely divided leaves in green to bronze shades, but it does not form bulbs. In summer, yellow-green umbels appear, acting as a magnet for bees and other pollinators. The entire plant smells of anise, and both its leaves and flowers are edible. It handles severe frosts without difficulty, doesn't suffer from diseases or pests, and any beginner can manage its care. In a suitable spot, it reliably self-seeds. It pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, the flowers last seven to ten days in a vase, and the mature umbels can be dried for winter decorations.
