Florence Fennel Seeds grow into a flavorful, multi-purpose plant valued as both a vegetable and an herb. Also known as finocchio, this cool-weather crop forms a rounded “bulb” made of swollen leaf stems, topped with feathery foliage similar in appearance to dill. It is a staple of Mediterranean cooking and a rewarding addition to home vegetable gardens.
The entire plant is edible, but Florence fennel is most commonly grown for its crisp, aromatic bulb. When eaten fresh, it offers a mild licorice or anise flavor that adds brightness to salads. Cooking transforms the bulb into a tender, sweet vegetable well suited for roasting, braising, or sautéing.
Cool-Season Vegetable with Culinary Versatility:
- Forms a compact bulb of swollen, tender stems
- Grown as both a vegetable and an herb
- Feathery foliage adds visual interest and usable greens
Delicious Fresh or Cooked:
- Crisp texture and mild anise flavor when raw
- Sweetens and softens when cooked
- Popular in salads, soups, roasts, and traditional Italian dishes
Why Gardeners Love Florence Fennel:
- Dual-purpose edible plant
- Excellent cool-season performance
- Distinctive flavor not found in many garden vegetables
- Suitable for spring and fall planting
How to Grow Florence Fennel:
Direct sow seeds in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Plant in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Keep soil evenly moist to encourage proper bulb development. Harvest bulbs once they reach usable size and feel firm, before plants bolt in warm weather.
