Description
Florence fennel is an Italian heirloom grown for its crisp, swollen stalk base and gentle anise sweetness. The pale green “bulb” forms just above the soil, with layered stems that slice cleanly for salads, roast into mellow sweetness, or tuck into simple suppers from the garden.
Above the bulb, fine feathery fronds give the plant a soft, architectural look and draw pollinators when allowed to flower. Every part feels useful—bulb, stalk, leaf, and seed—making Florence fennel both handsome in the row and welcome in the kitchen.
