Overview

Tasty foliage with both fish & meat as well as in salads. Fine clouds of feathery, bronze-purple leaves are followed by flat-topped, sulphur-yellow flowerheads in mid to late summer and then by aromatic seeds.

Foeniculum vulgare 'Giant Bronze' is a towering fennel, which looks fantastic as a centrepiece for a sunny herb garden. Offering tremendous ornamental value, the foliage acts as a delicate veil through which the flower heads of herbaceous plants and bulbs can be seen.

Care guide

Fennel thrives in a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained, fertile soil. It prefers a spot that isn’t too crowded, as it develops deep roots and can self-seed freely if not managed.

Once established, it becomes more drought-tolerant and requires only occasional deep watering during dry spells. Regular harvesting of leaves encourages fresh growth.

Mulching around the base in winter can offer protection in colder areas.

If fennel is being grown exclusively for its foliage, remove the yellow flowerheads to prevent it from self-seeding. When flowers have finished them cut back to 30cm (12in) from the ground.

Planting requirements

This herb dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
