Forniculum vulgare ’Smokey bronze’
Approx 50 seeds
A delightful bronze variety of fennel that looks great in both the veg patch and the perennial border. Every part of this plant is either tasty or useful! a great one to add to the food forest.
The foliage is a lovely bronze green, fine and feathery with a sweet aroma and aniseed flavour, delish in salads, and good for flavouring fish.
Fennel is a wonderful companion plant for attracting beneficial insects like bees and hoverflies. It will self-seed freely so be sure to cut the seed head before it is mature if you don't want lots of babies.
Likes full sun, is unfussy in its needs and very drought tolerant, will grow to about 200cm
