Item Ref #: vil 634 | Fennel- Fenouil de Florence
Placed Outdoors

Description:

This rather late variety will give you beautifull firm round white bulbs. 

Its delicate taste reminiscent of anise will add originality to your winter dishes. 
Culinary Tip:

Fennel is delicious in salads or cooked with gratin or stewed.

Culture Tip:

1. Sowing: Sow March to July in rows 40 cm. 
2. Thinning: At 3-4 leaf stage, pull out small seedlings and keep only the strongest- leaving one plant every 20 cm.           Cover the base of the plants as soon as they develope to obtain those perfectly white bulbs. 

3. Harvest: Harvest from late July to November. For harvest from December to March, sow from mid July.

Companion Plants:

Fennel likes the proximity of turnips as the scent of fennel drives away fly turnip.
