Product Details

Florence Fennel is a cultivated variety specifically selected for its swollen, aromatic bulb, widely appreciated in Mediterranean cuisine. Unlike common fennel, which is primarily grown for foliage and seeds, this type is prized for its tender, juicy base with a pleasant anise-like taste.

The plant produces light-green, feathery leaves and remains more compact than wild fennel, making it excellent for home gardens. Its bulb is ideal for raw dishes, roasting, sautés or stews. It is a hardy plant that adapts well to different soils as long as drainage is good.
