Florence Fennel Herb Growing Habits

Non-GMO (Foeniculum vulgare var. azuricum) Florence Fennel plants grow as cool bulbing heirloom fennel. As technically a vegetable that can be grown as perennials, this stocky annual variety grows upright with green shoots reaching 2-3" tall. Once your fennel reaches maturity in either late spring or summer, your plants will develop its white bulb near the base. Florence Fennel provides licorice flavor and produces light-green fern-like foliage on top of its stalks. This vegetable fennel can also be planted in mild climates during late summer to mature in the fall. Reap the medicinal benefits of fennel during its blooming season or just before winter, before it sets to seed.
