Description
A unique plant that is grown as both a vegetable and a herb.

The swollen delicate leaf bases form a type of bulb that is incredibly flavorful when eaten both cooked and raw.

The dried seeds can be used for both cooking and baking, but are especially popular as a bread spice.

Something magically delicious to do with this variety is to caramelize the sweet fennel with goat cheese or to bake it in the oven with chili peppers and honey. The variety contains many vitamins and minerals and has always been considered to have a positive effect on digestion.

In Italy, where this variety is most popular, it is very common to end a meal with fennel or fennel seeds for that reason.

Care and cultivation advice

Start indoors in April-May using planting soil or vegetable soil. Cover the sowing with a transparent covering with air holes for optimal germination, but it also works without. Make sure to water before sowing and keep the soil moist throughout the germination period.

Try to harden off the plants properly before planting them out and wait until the risk of frost has passed. This variety thrives best in a sunny location in well-drained and calcareous soil.

This variety can also be sown directly on the planting site when the soil has been properly warmed up.

(Important to note with this variety is that early direct sowing or planting leads to stem formation and no tubers.)
